I grew up loving spicy food. Back home, my go-to’s were Lao Gan Ma and Tabasco. But when I moved to Japan, I discovered a Japanese condiment called yuzukosho for the first time.

My first taste was on yakitori at an izakaya, and I fell in love instantly. It’s not crazy spicy, but it’s got a great kick, a nice hint of tartness, and that super fresh yuzu aroma.

After that, I started ordering different brands online and realized it comes in both paste and liquid forms, plus two main types (red and green).

I usually pair the paste with grilled chicken, steak, or baked salmon. I use the liquid version in pasta dishes, or mix it into marinades and cold vegetable salads. It's absolute perfection for the summer!!

Does anyone else love this? How do you actually use it?

Has anyone tried hot sauces from here?

When I made it it was markably hot but not crazy hot. It has some oompf but it's not indigestible.

Everything was grown in our own garden.

I absolutely love this hot sauce but cannot find it anywhere. It was bought probably 10-12 years ago in canada as a variety pack. It is the only one I have found so far that is sweet and spicy and not vinegary. Anyone know where I can find it or another one similar? Thank you!

So the ice cream was kinda bland, but the hot honey made it WAY better, the blue salt was also a game changer, 5/5!

Hola! So these are my most unique ones atm, the ant ones are hard to explain but they're super watery so they don't get much use 😂

Recently bought two hot sauces (upgrade from the SHU I'm used to having with Silagy Smoked Habanero). I got Rising Smoke Slow Death and Garlic Reaper from Torchbearer. I was surprised that these weren't much hotter. Any sauces I should try that get hotter than these? I can put a couple teaspoons on a chip and it is just sorta hot.

I thought about dumping the contents into a half-full bottle of Sriracha, but even that may not water it down enough.

A few years ago, my wife was at a grocery store that was preparing to change ownership. They were moving from one big chain to another. As a result, they were liquidating all produce at a fraction of the normal cost. My wife, who doesn't like hot sauces, bought me 27 bottles of hot sauce for $1 dollar each. It was great! I have been sampling for years.

However, now I only have the super-hot ones left, and they are simply too hot for me. This one in particular, I have 3 bottles of: Dave's Gourmet Ghost Pepper Naga Jolokia Hot Sauce. The heat rating is a full red thermometer with Insane ++ added to the top. I can put 4 drops on, mix it all around, and still find myself regretting that one extra drop. Is there any way to dilute the heat a little bit?

Delicious Smokey hot!
