Notoko is making its debut at the Summer Fancy Food Show as a significantly lower-sodium alternative to traditional soy and teriyaki sauces. This versatile sesame soy sauce was created to complement a range of dishes with its sweet, smoky and savory profile, and it can be used as a marinade, dipping sauce, or a finishing drizzle for vegetables, proteins, bowls and more.
Natural-ingredient Notoko is made with fresh lime and lemon juice, ginger, honey and imported Italian olive oil—and no MSG, corn syrup, trans fat, peanuts or peanut oil—meeting the demand for flavor-forward sauces without unnecessary additives.
At the Summer Fancy Food Show 2025, the Original Notoko Sauce & Marinade can be sampled alongside all-new Gluten-Free, Mild Jalapeño, and Spicy Jalapeño.
