MOTOI Yuzu Hot Sauce (Kyoto Style), 4.76 oz
Crafted in Kyoto, Japan, MOTOI YUZU HOT SAUCE offers a refined take on traditional hot sauce. Made with 100% ripe Kyoto yuzu, rice vinegar, carefully selected chili peppers, soy sauce, and salt, it delivers bright citrus aroma, gentle heat, and rich umami in perfect balance. Thickened naturally with fresh yuzu peel—not artificial additives—this smooth, vibrant sauce enhances dishes without overpowering their original flavors.
Created by Chef Motoi Maeda of Kyoto's renowned French restaurant MOTOI, this hot sauce reflects his philosophy of enhancing ingredients rather than overpowering them. Every bottle is handcrafted by the restaurant's team using yuzu sourced directly from local growers in Kyoto Prefecture. Each fruit is carefully processed by hand, making production intentionally small-batch while preserving the fresh aroma and character of the fruit. Free from artificial additives and preservatives, the sauce relies on rice vinegar for stability and the natural texture of yuzu peel.
Use as a finishing sauce or condiment to brighten everyday dishes with gentle heat and fresh yuzu aroma. It pairs beautifully with dumplings, fried chicken, grilled meats, seafood, roasted vegetables, hot pot, and noodle dishes, while also adding a vibrant twist to pizza, pasta, sandwiches, and more.
