Otafuku Ponzu Sauce, Japan - 1.8LTR

Ponzu, 1.8 litres. Otafuku blends soy with Japanese citrus, so the sauce is brighter and lighter than straight soy. Japanese restaurants keep this bottle for the dip, not as a secret ingredient you have to cook down.

Shabu-shabu, nabe, gyoza, tataki, and chicken hot pot all take it as the dip. Sashimi, yakitori, steamed fish, tofu, and a salad dressing use a splash. The 1.8 litre bottle is the size a restaurant goes through, not a 150ml table bottle.

Keep it cool, cap on. Citrus and soy both dull if the bottle sits open on a flattop. Decant a ramikin per table. Don't leave the big bottle in the dining room.
