What is Tsuyu sauce?
Tsuyu is a traditional Japanese noodle broth based on soy sauce and dashi. Dashi is usually made from kombu seaweed and bonito flakes and provides the characteristic umami flavour. The sauce is frequently used as a base for noodle soups, but can also serve as a dip or seasoning sauce. In many Japanese households, Tsuyu is one of the most important staple ingredients.
What does Tsuyu taste like?
Tsuyu has a balanced flavour combining salty soy sauce, a hint of sweetness and the intense umami of dashi. The flavour is savoury and well-rounded, without being spicy. This makes it a particularly good match for noodles, tempura or simple rice dishes, lending dishes an aromatic depth.
How should I store Tsuyu sauce?
The sauce should be stored in a dry place away from direct sunlight. Once opened, it is recommended to keep the bottle in the fridge. This helps preserve the flavour for longer.
What can I use Tsuyu for?
Tsuyu is traditionally used as a broth for udon or soba soups. It is also suitable as a dip for tempura, gyoza or cold soba and somen noodles. It can also be used to season vegetable dishes or rice. Thanks to its balanced flavour, it is versatile in Japanese cuisine. It is enough for approx. 10–12 servings.
