Umami Ritual

Traditional Japanese Kakuida sesame Ponzu sauce, made by the Kakuida house (Kagoshima, Japan). A balanced blend of soy sauce, aged Kurozu black rice vinegar, Japanese citrus fruits (yuzu, sudachi), and toasted sesame. Deep umami flavor, delicate acidity, and a woody finish characteristic of Kurozu. Ideal as a marinade for white meats and fish, or as a sauce for gyozas, sashimi, beef tartare, or Thai salad. A rare Japanese gastronomic signature in Europe.

Kakuida Semi-Spicy Kurozu Black Rice Vinegar Paste, a concentrate of Japanese black rice vinegar aged in ceramic. Thick and concentrated texture, powerful umami notes, light spicy heat. 180g jar. To spread on grilled meats, to incorporate into a sauce, marinade, or as a finishing touch for beef tataki. A signature culinary approach from Kakuida.
