It’s time to announce the WINNERS of the 2026 #InspiredByKikkomanCompetition and what better day to celebrate with them than National Soy Sauce Day! This year, competing chefs were challenged to create unforgettable chicken dishes using their choice of KikkomanFS products. There were several amazing prizes up for grabs - including an incredible Grand Prize trip to Japan and two Runner Up cash prizes of $2,000! Plus, we opened these top 3 dishes up to public voting where our chef community voted for their Fan Favorite Winner. Congratulations to these talented chefs!⁠ ⁠ GRAND PRIZE WINNER: Post Oak Tori Gyoza by tdritsas⁠ ⁠ RUNNER UP WINNER: Hickory Smoked Sesame Chicken with a Sweet Sesame Espuma by Chef alfred.wilhelm⁠ ⁠ RUNNER UP WINNER: Chicken Heart Yakisoba Chimichanga by El_Chef_padilla ⁠ ⁠ FAN FAVORITE WINNER: Post Oak Tori Gyoza by tdritsas⁠ ⁠ #sponsored by KikkomanFS⁠ ⁠ #chefsroll #rollwithus #kikkoman #crfeatureskikkoman⁠
