Picked this up today and it’s unlike any hot sauce I’ve ever had. Miso paste, koji, Japanese seven spice? Wild stuff, man.
The nutty, umami-heavy flavors come through beautifully right up front, while the heat is a slow builder that didn’t get quite as hot as I was hoping for considering the peppers used, but hot enough to get a decent burn going.
This stuff would absolutely slap on a miso steak or in some mayo with miso and lemon juice. Or on most any savory dish, really.
Definitely worth trying a bottle for those looking for something off the beaten path of hot sauces, and if you see a bottle of Bravado’s black garlic sauce go ahead and grab that as well. 8/10.
