Fundodai Irizake- Ancient Japanese Seasoning

$14.95

Translating to “roast sake,” Fundodai’s Irizake is the special Japanese seasoning that you’ve probably never heard of. And we truly believe it will change the way you cook. An ancient Japanese seasoning that predates soy sauce, it’s made by combining bonito flakes and plum vinegar with sake for a less salty condiment that can be used in a wide variety of dishes. Fundodai’s Irizake has a savory-sweet depth from the concentrated sake, along with smoky, fishy sweet notes from the katsubushi, plus a tart, savory, fruity plum flavor that cuts through and lingers on your palate. It can serve the role of soy sauce but sets itself apart thanks to the complexity of the blended flavors. Mix it into sauces, vinaigrettes and marinades; use as a seasoning for rice; as a dipping sauce for shabu shabu or sashimi; as a brine for salmon and so much more. It pairs especially well with roasted vegetables, like summer squash or charred cabbage.

How to use

The Japanese seasoning that predates soy sauce.

Originating during the Muromachi Period (1336–1396), Irizake has been around for hundreds of years, yet it is barely seen or used outside of Japan. Its deeply complex flavor profile sets it apart from soy sauce—we believe it will truly change the way you cook.
