Dessert-Designated Soy Sauces

The Soy Sauce Bottle is Intended for Use on Ice Cream and Shaved Ice

— August 19, 2015 — Lifestyle
This specially formulated soy sauce bottle is to be used particularly on desserts including ice cream and snow cones. While some people in the west prefer to put ketchup or hot sauce on everything, perhaps in the east it's soy sauce.

While some have taken to creating soy sauce-flavored desserts, this is a slightly different approach. The soy sauce bottle is available for purchase from the Japan Trend Shop. In addition to soft serve ice cream, as pictured, the condiment is also intended for shaved ice desserts. This is otherwise known as kakigori.

The product was crafted by veteran soy sauce maker Gotu Shoyu, meaning it is high quality and not just a cheap gimmick either.
Trend Themes
1. Soy Sauce-infused Desserts - Creating unique dessert recipes that incorporate soy sauce as a flavor enhancer presents a disruptive innovation opportunity for food companies.
2. Novel Condiment Applications - Exploring non-traditional uses of condiments, such as soy sauce on ice cream and shaved ice, offers a disruptive innovation opportunity for condiment manufacturers.
3. Cultural Fusion in Food - Blending culinary traditions from different cultures, like using soy sauce in western desserts, presents a disruptive innovation opportunity for chefs and food entrepreneurs.
Industry Implications
1. Food and Beverage - The food and beverage industry can leverage the trend of soy sauce-infused desserts to create new products and attract adventurous consumers.
2. Condiments and Sauces - The condiments and sauces industry can explore new applications for their products, such as introducing soy sauce as a condiment for desserts, to expand their market and appeal to diverse consumer preferences.
3. Culinary Tourism - Culinary tourism operators and destinations can promote cultural fusion in food by incorporating soy sauce-infused desserts in their offerings, attracting food enthusiasts seeking unique culinary experiences.
