About Kimlan Soy Sauce

Founded in 1936 in Taiwan by Han Chung, Kimlan began as a small, family-owned soy sauce and pickled foods company dedicated to authentic, high-quality flavors. Han Chung insisted on premium ingredients and traditional brewing techniques, blending patience, craftsmanship, and innovation to produce soy sauces that were smooth, balanced, and rich in natural umami. Over decades, Kimlan grew from a local favorite into Taiwan’s leading soy sauce brand, trusted by generations of chefs and households. In 1970, the company formally adopted the name Kimlan Soy Sauce & Food Co., Ltd., reflecting its commitment to quality and expanding product lines. Today, Kimlan offers a full range of soy sauces, soy paste, and seasoning sauces, all made using traditional fermentation methods that preserve depth of flavor and authenticity. Celebrated internationally, Kimlan exports to North America, Europe, and Asia. Its products enhance stir-fries, braises, marinades, soups, and dipping sauces without overpowering ingredients. With over 80 years of heritage, Kimlan remains committed to founding values: delivering authentic Taiwanese taste, supporting culinary creativity, and providing chefs and home cooks with trusted, premium soy sauces that elevate every dish. Kimlan is more than a seasoning; it is a legacy of flavor, tradition, and culinary excellence that continues to inspire kitchens around the world.Read their story
