The Momofuku soy sauce is $1.31/oz while the Kikkoman’s soy sauce is $0.37/oz. Truly ridiculous pricing.

His rice vinegar, which apparently is "restaurant tested" and has taken "years of research" to create the "vinegar of their dreams" is even worse in terms of pricing. But "you've never tasted anything like this before" as it comes from their "proprietary blend of rice".
