About Otafuku Okonomi Sauce
Otafuku Sauce, Inc. began selling Worcestershire sauce in 1950, but entering the market after the competition meant that its product struggled to gain share. That’s when the company decided to talk to an okonomiyaki restaurant and develop a sauce to meet their needs. The company made the sauce thick so it wouldn’t run off the okonomiyaki or soak down into it. It was slightly sweet rather than salty, and not very acidic, making it go down easy even as a topping on hot foods. This was the birth of Okonomi Sauce.
Okonomi Sauce is a blend of around 20 different kinds of spices with a wealth of fruits and vegetables. This is a mellow sauce characterized by a sweet and rich flavor, created from carefully sourced dates. Its use is by no means limited to that of a topping for okonomiyaki – it can be added to a wide range of dishes for extra flavor. Try it with a few of your favorite dishes and you’re sure to discover a new blend of flavors!
