Daisho Hiden Yakiniku Sauce (Garlic & Sesame) 575g is Daisho's "secret recipe" tare — the sauce a Japanese yakiniku restaurant puts on the table, built to be dipped into rather than basted on. Garlic and sesame oil carry the aroma, while apple, soybean paste and sesame seed give it the body and rounded sweetness that a thin soy-based sauce never has. Ginger and a little spice sit underneath.
About Daisho
Daisho Co., Ltd. (株式会社ダイショー) is a Japanese seasoning maker established in December 1966 in Fukuoka — originally as Daisho Foods, set up to make grilled-meat seasoning, and its very first product was a yakiniku sauce called Yakiniku Ichiban. It now works from dual headquarters in Tokyo and Fukuoka, and is known across Japan for yakiniku and steak sauces, seasoned salt-and-pepper, and nabe hot-pot soup bases, under the company motto "creating happiness through deliciousness".
What is yakiniku no tare?
Yakiniku (焼肉) is Japanese-style barbecue, where thin slices of beef, pork and vegetables are grilled a few pieces at a time over a burner set into the table. The tare (たれ) is the sauce that goes with it — and unlike a Western barbecue sauce, which is brushed on during cooking, a yakiniku tare is usually poured into a small bowl so each person dips the meat as it comes off the grill. It is also commonly worked into the meat beforehand as a marinade.
How to use & enjoy
Pour it into individual dipping bowls and let everyone dip the meat and vegetables straight off the grill, or massage it into the meat before cooking to season it through. Daisho's own recipe collection for this sauce reaches well past grilled meat: marinated yakiniku and karaage, fried rice, yaki-udon, mapo tofu, pulled pork, hot-plate bibimbap, beef simmered in the sauce, and meat-wrapped onigiri.
