This article highlights a simple but effective technique for using a soy sauce dispenser, specifically the Kikkoman model. By placing a finger over one of the holes in the two-sided lid, users can stop the flow of soy sauce, enabling precise measurements without spills. The design was crafted by Kenji Ekuan and took years of prototyping, making it a popular and celebrated choice found even in MoMA. The writer shares personal reflections on the importance of soy sauce in cooking and encourages readers to explore hidden features in product designs.
Rather than clumsily letting the sauce flow freely, all you need to do is place a finger on one of the holes dispensing from the two-sided lid.
Kikkoman's iconic bell-shaped dispenser was created after over 100 prototypes were made over the course of three years to provide a mess-free pouring experience.
