Mr. Yoshida's Gourmet Sauce, 86 oz

This classic marinade and cooking sauce is made from a sweet-and-savory blend built on water and sugar, combined with soy sauce made from water, soybeans, wheat, and salt. To balance sweetness with tang, the recipe includes vinegar and tomato paste, which add mild acidity and depth. Garlic and a proprietary mix of spices round out the flavor profile, delivering the sauce’s signature rich, slightly sweet umami taste.

This sauce contains soy and wheat and is commonly used as a marinade, glaze, or cooking sauce for meats, vegetables, and stir-fry dishes.
