I love soy sauce so much that I go out of my way to concoct meals just so I can incorporate it. If I could take that affection even further with a trip to Tokyo courtesy of the soy sauce gods themselves, I would be soy grateful. 

Kikkoman is celebrating its 50th anniversary in the US this year. To mark this milestone, the brand is launching “Love Unbottled,” a contest that will send one lucky fan and their guest to Tokyo, Japan, for a six-night stay. The contest also includes other exciting prizes for fans who participate by sharing their Kikkoman love story.

Join the “Love Unbottled” contest and win prizes

To enter the contest, participants need to share their Kikkoman love story by uploading a photo or video of themselves using the soy sauce along with a brief caption. The contest is open until May 30th. 

Five finalists will be chosen, but there’s only one winner

On June 15, Kikkoman will announce the contest’s five finalists based on creativity, authenticity, and brand affinity. Members of the public will then get to cast one vote per day for their top choice until June 22. The sole winner of the contest will be announced on June 22—based on the entry with the most votes. The trip is valued at $15,000. The other finalists have the chance to receive a check for $1,000.

Voters will receive prizes, too 

By participating in the voting process, each vote will be considered an entry into a random giveaway, where 45 lucky participants will receive a Kikkoman-branded gift pack valued at around $80.
