Umami Meets the Grill
A fusion blend that captures the sweet, savory, and funky soul of Japanese barbecue.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does ‘umami’ mean in this blend, practically?
It means the tamari soy and nori bring a deep, savory backbone rather than just heat or sweetness, the same flavor category that makes broths and aged cheeses satisfying.
Is it very spicy?
No, the heat is mild. Ginger, horseradish, and guajillo add warmth and complexity, but sweetness and umami lead the flavor.
How should I store it?
Keep it sealed away from heat and light for the best flavor retention, typically 24 months.
