The Umakara — "deliciously spicy" — variety of Daisho's Yakiichi range brings a properly assertive heat to the yakiniku sauce format. Red chilli provides a clean, forward spiciness, while miso and garlic add body and depth that keeps the sauce from being simply hot. A measured splash of brewed vinegar lifts the whole thing with a brightness that makes the flavour feel lively rather than heavy, and the sesame adds a warm, nutty finish. It works well with beef, pork, chicken or grilled vegetables, and handles both the marinade and dipping roles comfortably. A solid choice for anyone who wants a Japanese barbecue sauce with genuine heat and enough complexity to back it up.
