Description: This sauce of a new kind is full of Tokushima charm. It is a mellow and refreshing hot sauce that combines yuzu juice and kaki vinegar to chili pepper while preserving the flavor of each ingredient. Bakasco, whose name inevitably evokes the famous Tabasco, was named after Bando (“Ba”) and Kawazoe (“Ka”), the two Tokushima based producers who partnered to create this flavorful condiment.
Flavor: After the sourness of kaki vinegar wrapped up with the smooth scent of yuzu, a punchy and spicy taste is unveiled.
Use: Add one or two drops of this hot sauce in pasta, pizza or french fries for a spicy and refreshing flavor. Use it with a burger, tacos, to season a beef tartar, a ceviche, a carpaccio or a gazpacho. This sauce can also be added to a ramen or udon broth and it goes also very well with sashimi, okonomiyaki and Japanese cuisine altogether.

The production of Bakasco was made possible through a collaborative effort between two companies: Bando Foods and Kawazoe Fruits.
Bando Foods is a small family owned company based in the Tokushima department of Shikoku Island, which grows Japanese yuzu, sudachi and yuko citrus fruits on a surface of more than 7700m². The fruits grow between 300 and 400 meters above the sea level. Its annual production is about 25 tons. One part of its production is sold as it is in Japan. The other part is transformed into products such as the yuzu and sudachi juices we offer. It is one of the only companies in Japan to be certified organic for Japanese citrus fruits, from fruit growing to production. This is why Umami is one of the only companies in France offering pure organic yuzu juice.
Kawazoe Foods is a small company situated in Tokushima prefecture. As its name implies, the company specializes in fruits, starting from their cultivation until their selling. With these fruits, Kawazoe Fruits produce their own syrups, jams, dry fruits, and even kaki vinegar used to make the famous Tokushima Soul Sauce that we bring you at Umami Paris: Bakasco.
