A number of readers contacted us about the Kikkoman plant in Walworth (thank you!) We emailed the company and received the following response:
"The all-purpose Kikkoman Soy Sauce is produced at Kikkoman Foods, Inc. in Walworth, Wisconsin but the soybeans and wheat are purchased throughout the USA and Canada."
Wheat and soybeans are some of the biggest commodity crops in the world, origin traceability would be remarkable from a company as big as Kikkoman, using solely local crops for a local plant is, I guess, out of the question.
Out of curiosity we looked into brewing our own--it would be ready by September of 2008. Maybe for next year!
