Spicy Sauces & Kosho
Spicy Condiments | Buy Japanese Chilli Sauces, Yuzu Kosho, Shichimi and More
Although you might not associate Japanese cuisine with chillies, there exists a wide range of traditional spicy condiments that can bring out the best in all kinds of authentic Japanese dishes. Here we stock a range of spicy Japanese products - including several award-winning iterations of our own.
Yuzu kosho is one of our favourites. Made from a fermented blend of yuzu peel (a citrus fruit), fresh chilli and salt, this Japanese chilli paste is an instant flavour bomb. Coming in red, green or even black versions, yuzu kosho is a complex seasoning combining fiery heat with yuzu's citrus blossom flavours. Use it to flavour Japanese hot pot dishes, shio ramen, miso soup, fish, dress salads and more.
We also stock delicious yuzu hot sauces inspired by this condiment. Alongside red or green chillies and lemon juice, expect strong floral yuzu notes from the fresh yuzu fruit. The perfect dipping condiment - or Bloody Mary ingredient! Finally, instead of a chilli pepper kick, the more pungent spices of wasabi and mustard are a classic pairing with Japanese cuisine. Here you can find our wasabi mustard, wasabi mayonnaise and more.
