The Santa Hat Kikkoman Soy Sauce has been announced by the brand as its latest packaging update that will help to give the product a festive profile for shoppers in the UK to admire. The special edition packaging will see the brand's recognizable 150ml dispenser bottle topped with a miniature Santa hat to transform it into a charming option for consumers to pick up. The packaging update will also see the brand providing retailers with aisle fins with a QR code that will refer shoppers to the brand's dedicated festive recipe website for meal inspiration.
UK General Manager Bing-yu Lee commented on the Santa Hat Kikkoman Soy Sauce and promotion saying, "We feel the time is right to up our presence in store at Christmas. Consumers are looking to add more interest to their festive menu and while traditional fayre is important, we know that adding an umami rich soy sauce, like Kikkoman, gives depth of flavour and lifts the taste of all kinds of foods."
