SAN-J, a prominent name in tamari soy sauces, has partnered with Moe, widely known as "Kimono Mom," to introduce 'Kimono Mom UMAMI SAUCE,' a versatile, Japanese-inspired condiment tailored for home cooking.

With a carefully crafted blend of "SAN-J’s tamari soy sauce, shiitake mushrooms, and kombu seaweed, Kimono Mom UMAMI SAUCE offers a concentrated, savory profile." This versatile sauce can be easily diluted, making it suitable for various uses, including marinades, dips, dressings, and broth bases for ramen, soba, and udon.
