These new Momofuku sauces have been launched by the exclusive restaurant brand to offer consumers a way to enhance their favourite recipes when preparing dishes from the comfort of home.

The sauces include the brand's [soy sauce and Tamari](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heydoh), which are both positioned as [restaurant-grade versions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sticksnsushi-sauces) of the essential sauces. The sauces have been developed over 10 years of flavor research at the [Momofuku Culinary Lab](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/packaged-food) in order to ensure home chefs that they are only getting the best-quality product.

The Momofuku sauces are being sold in two-packs with one eight ounce bottle of each in the mix at a relatively affordable price point. This will make them the perfect offering to a friend or family member who is experimenting more in the kitchen as of late.
