  Sake-Drenched Postcards - Factory Tour: Kikkoman Soy Sauce
Indeed, Kikkoman is clearly the industry Godzilla, and the niche it has carved out in Noda City with its main factory is where it all began.
Finding the source of this heritage is simple: Once exiting the station, follow the fragrance along the main road and beneath a canopy of utility lines until reaching the 12 hulking and rusted steel storage tanks located at the center of the factory grounds.
Unlike the average multinational corporation, which cranks out cold-hearted, mass-produced products for the world market, Kikkoman's products are created through methods seen as similar to winemaking in their attention to detail.

Kikkoman exemplifies the enduring strengths of a traditional company, in a traditional industry, that has not only survived but thrived.
He attributed this to Kikkoman’s boldness in moving into new areas rather than seeking to survive in traditional fields, as well as its reliance on a strong core competency - Kikkoman knows a lot about yeast, which is a common factor in most of its activities.
When EDB staff were taken on a tour of the Kikkoman plant earlier this year, they were impressed with Kikkoman's dedication to continue with the traditional process of brewing soya sauce naturally over six months, despite the practices adopted by several of their competitors abroad who use chemical products to produce soya sauce more quickly.
