YO! Cooking & Dipping Sauces are Arriving This Month in the UK

— September 3, 2025 — Lifestyle
YO! cooking & dipping sauces are a new range of products headed to the UK market to provide consumers with a way to enjoy a restaurant-quality, Japanese cuisine experience from the comfort of home. The product range was created in collaboration with The Flava People, and consists of six options including Katsu Curry, Teriyaki, Sweet Chilli, Soy, Ginger & Garlic, Japanese Style BBQ and Sweet & Sour. The various sauces will arrive at Morrisons this month for £2 each to give them a cost-effective profile that shoppers will gravitate towards to help elevate their at-home cooking.

Marketing Director Lauren Crozier spoke on the YO! cooking & dipping sauces saying, "At YO! we’re all about making Japanese food fun, exciting and easy to enjoy — whether you’re dining with us, grabbing something on the go, or now, cooking at home. We’re especially delighted that our head chef, Hoshino San, worked closely with The Flava People development team to make these sauces new, improved and bursting with even more authentically Japanese flavour."
