Umami flavors work well as an all-around food enhancer because they deepen taste complexity, amplify savory notes, and naturally bring out richness, and Umami Everything is an ultra-versatile sauce that works as a drizzle, a simmering base, a dip and more.
Available in two varieties, Original and Spicy, Umami Everything is prepared in Japan with premium ingredients like aged tamari, yuzu, miso, maitake, and Japanese leek. Both vegan-friendly, gluten-free and crafted without industrial seed oils, MSG or synthetic preservatives, these condiments are bold, clean-label options for enhancing noodles, eggs, soups, roasted veggies and pizza.
For those who love the heat, Spicy Umami Sauce gets an extra kick from Japanese chili peppers and sansho—a rare Japanese pepper said to create a tingling sensation as Sichuan peppercorns do.
