Sound familiar? Yes, to us this name is a shameless riff off a very famous (and one of our favorite) hot sauces, which shall remain nameless because, frankly, everyone knows exactly who I’m talking about. We saw this Yuzu sauce at Mitsuwa and simply couldn’t resist picking it up. How could it possibly be bad? It is, of course, delicious. It is everything and nothing like the original. How is this possible? Because every hot sauce out there is a combination of salt, heat, and acid. Some add a touch of sweetness, a few may add a hint of bitterness, usually by charring their peppers, but in the end, all hot sauces are variations on a theme. The key to standing out is to create something special enough to rise above the pack.
