1961–2011. To mark the occasion of their 50th anniversary, Kikkoman will be featuring a limited edition of their cult bottle by the Japanese industrial designer Kenji Ekuan that will only be available as a gift item for a short time. During the last 50 years, despite worldwide attempts to copy it, this dispenser has become synonymous with the Kikkoman brand. Designed back in 1961, the 150-ml bottle is still a timeless masterwork of design and is at home as a design classic in international collections, such as at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. With its curved silhouette, it makes a simple but elegant appearance and is impressive for its practical and convenient handling. It graces kitchen shelves and dining tables in homes and restaurants all over the world. In accordance with Kenji Ekuan’s motto – ‘Design is a source of life enhancement’ – Kikkoman will be cooking up a presentation at bulthaup Opernring.
