Japanese sauces include seasonings with very different uses, designed to accompany a dish, enhance a preparation or directly provide the right balance of flavours.
Gyoza sauces are mainly used for dipping Japanese dumplings, while Japanese BBQ sauces are suited to grilled meat, yakiniku and pan-cooked dishes. Rounder and creamier, sesame and poke bowl sauces pair easily with rice, vegetables, tofu or fish. Salad dressings make it easy to season raw vegetables and Japanese salads without having to prepare the dressing yourself.
Some products remain directly available on this page when their use is too specific to justify a permanent category, including miso sauces, koji seasonings and sauces intended for a particular preparation.
