Nice citrus taste and heat. A little goes a long way, so it's best to use sparingly.

The first time I had Kikkoman soy sauce 55+ years ago remains a vivid memory. I didn't realize there could be such a profound difference in soy sauces. Those I was familiar with were widely available soy sauces with Chinese names. Frankly, those soy sauces all tasted alike, ie salty, and not much else. From that first taste of Kikkoman soy sauce I was hooked. I've since tried numerous premium soy sauces. I enjoy experimenting, and will continue to do so, but the improvements over Kikkoman are, for my tastes, minor rather than profound. The Kikkoman Ponzu Citrus Seasoned Dressing and Sauce is a wonderful addition to the Kikkoman family. For my tastes, I'd prefer another jolt of citrus, and a bit less vinegar, but I'm nuts for citrus & generally dislike vinegar. This dressing is an excellent dipping sauce for Asian dumplings or a terrific flavor enhancer for rice or noodle dishes. It takes the lowly ramen noodle to the next level. I routinely add a few dashes of this to my ramen along with a touch of concentrated Bloody Mary mix, some yuzu hot sauce and sweet & spicy peanuts. These additions literally add seconds to the noodle prep and yield a much tastier ramen. I'm also enamored of several of Annie Chun's noodle dishes. Those benefit greatly from a substitution of a 1/2 oz of this dressing for a 1/2 oz of the water, ie 1.5 oz water plus 0.5 oz Kikkoman ponzu citrus sauce. I wish this was a bit less costly but the flavor it delivers is well worth the price. I'm glad I found it and will have it on hand at all times going forward.

Very nice light, citrus flavor. This has replaced regulat soy sauce at our house.
