To achieve perfectly seasoned rice, or to add flavor to white or red meat, the teriyaki sauce compliments foods by adding subtle, layered notes. Used as a seasoning, a marinade, or for basting meats during cooking.
Ideal for use as a salad dressing, the spicy lemon garlic sauce can also be paired with white fish, both grilled (after cooking) and sushi style, as well as with shellfish. A selection of twenty bottled sauces, including green chili vinaigrette, ceviche sauce, and sesame sauce, are available in two sizes – 100 and 200ml – allowing gourmet lovers to take home the flavors of Japanese fine cuisine.
As an accompaniment to rice or grilled fish, add finesse and deep flavor with a touch of wasabi. The Wasabi Seaweed Chutney is versatile and compliments meat and fish, as well as vegetables. More original than traditional mayonnaise, the Spicy Mayonnaise can be perfectly partnered with salads, raw fish, and shellfish. The spicy mayonnaise can also be added to vinaigrette for extra flavor.
The Saikyo Miso Sauce serves as the marinade for the YOKO’s famous black cod dish, and can also enhance the taste of meat, fish, and vegetables with its sweet, delicate fragrance. Presented in simple yet elegant glass jars, these condiments are perfect for elevating the flavors of foods for a healthy and balanced diet.
