Sauces & Condiments

Japanese sauces and condiments in this collection

This collection includes soy sauces in classic and smoked styles, Japanese BBQ sauces, ponzu, yuzu hot sauce, and spicy blends such as kosho, alongside favourites like wasabi mayonnaise and mustard. Each plays a distinct role, from everyday seasoning to finishing touches that change how a dish tastes at the table.

Soy sauce is an important ingredient in Japanese cooking. Traditionally brewed from soybeans, wheat, salt and water, it’s fermented slowly to develop savoury depth and balance. Japanese soy sauce, which usually includes wheat, has a softer, rounder character that works just as well for dipping sushi as it does for seasoning rice, noodles, marinades and dressings. Versions brewed without wheat tend to taste sharper and more salt-forward, which can suit particular dishes or preferences.

Many of the condiments in this range are used to introduce contrast. Ponzu combines citrus and soy, bringing a clean, sharp edge that pairs well with grilled vegetables, fish and tofu. Kosho adds gentle heat with citrus aroma, while Japanese BBQ sauces and chilli sauces bring richness and warmth without masking the ingredients underneath. These are the sauces you reach for when a dish needs lift, depth or a final adjustment before serving.

Alongside products sourced from Japan, we also make our own range of sauces and condiments. The Wasabi Company collection has been awarded 28 Gold Stars at the Great Taste Awards. Standout products include Wasabi Mustard, Sanbaizu and Vegan Sudachi Kombu Ponzu, as well as Organic White Sesame Oil and Sansho Spiced Rum, each recognised with three Gold Stars.

Whether you’re stocking up on everyday cooking sauces or looking for something to lift a finished dish, this collection offers Japanese condiments that are easy to use, versatile and full of character.
