Saitaku Teriyaki Sauce is a ready-to-use Japanese condiment in a 150 ml bottle, built on naturally fermented soy sauce (38%), sugar and spices. Its balanced sweet-savoury profile and syrupy texture make it the professional workhorse for glazing, marinating and stir-frying meat, fish and vegetables, delivering the glossy caramelised finish that defines authentic Japanese cooking.
What is teriyaki sauce
Teriyaki is a Japanese cooking technique and the sauce that enables it. The word joins two terms: "teri", meaning shine or lustre, and "yaki", meaning to grill or broil. Traditionally, foods are brushed with a soy-based sauce during cooking so the sugars caramelise into a bright, lacquered glaze. Saitaku captures this tradition in a stable, pre-balanced bottle, removing the need to reduce soy, mirin and sugar by hand during service.
Origin and brand
Saitaku is a brand dedicated to authentic Japanese-style kitchen products, distributed across Europe. This Teriyaki Sauce is produced in China and imported for the European and Swiss food service market. The recipe stays faithful to the Japanese template: fermented soy sauce as the savoury backbone, sugar and molasses for the caramel notes, and ginger and spices for warmth and depth.
Sensory profile
The sauce pours with a syrupy, lightly clinging consistency that coats ingredients evenly. On the palate it opens sweet, then resolves into the deep umami sapidity of fermented soy, with a gentle ginger lift on the finish. The colour is a glossy dark brown that turns to an appetising lacquer when heated, ideal for plate appeal in modern Asian and fusion menus.
Technical specifications
Net content 150 ml. Ingredients: soy sauce 38% (soy, water, salt, wheat flour), sugar, glucose, molasses, salt, ginger, spices, preservative E202 (potassium sorbate).

Professional uses
Saitaku Teriyaki Sauce is engineered for high-throughput kitchens. Brush it over salmon or chicken in the final two to three minutes of cooking to build a lacquered glaze; use it as an overnight marinade for teriyaki chicken, beef strips and yakitori skewers; deglaze a hot wok and toss with noodles, vegetables and tofu for an instant stir-fry sauce; finish poke bowls and donburi with a controlled drizzle. A typical working dose is 15 to 20 ml per portion, which keeps sweetness and sodium balanced.
Pairings
It pairs naturally with steamed jasmine and sushi rice, ramen and udon noodles, sesame seeds, spring onion and toasted nori. For fusion menus it lifts grilled burgers, glazed pork belly and roasted root vegetables. Combine with neutral oils for wok work and with a splash of rice vinegar to sharpen a marinade.
