Everyday Elegance
The Table Type Soy Sauce Bottle (1960)
Designed by Kenji Ekuan of GK Design Group
Kikkoman 1961 to present
What sets this bottle apart from others is its familiar silhouette, tweaked for improved usability. The wider base makes for a sturdier vessel, and the double-spout cap prevents over-pouring. The unusual shape also prompts instant -- and enduring -- brand recognition.
