About Uchino Gohan
Uchino Gohan is Kikkoman's range of meal-kit seasonings for home cooking in Japan, made by Kikkoman Food Products Company. In January 2025 it added the Vege Osozai-no-Moto series, which is designed so that one serving supplies at least half of the government's 350 gram daily vegetable target, although overall Uchino Gohan sales fell over the year.

About the owner: Kikkoman
Kikkoman is a publicly listed company headquartered in Noda, Japan, founded in 1917. Brandtree records 5 brands under its control, and it is listed as TSE: 2801.
Kikkoman is a Japanese soy sauce maker formed in 1917, when eight brewing families in Noda and Nagareyama merged to create Noda Shoyu Co., the predecessor of today's company. It began marketing in the United States through a San Francisco sales company in 1957 and shipped its first American-made soy sauce from Walworth, Wisconsin in 1973. Its soy sauce is now used in more than 100 countries, and it says North American sales far exceed those in Japan.
