Organic Japanese Umami Ketchup

5 oz bottle - Japan

To the nose, there is more twang than tomato. Or is it the tomato that gives it the twang?

It pours smoothly, not fast, not slow, from the bottle. The combination of flavors is quite enjoyable. Not so much tomato and vinegar like we put on our hamburgers and hot dogs; this ketchup is more like a treat that is sweet and savory.

Dip your tongue in, and it is alluring to your taste buds. You want more.

Taste the flavors in the middle of the mouth, and you get a nice burst of flavors. Then, as you squeeze with your tongue, the taste changes to a different experience of salt, onion, and garlic. It is quite wonderful.

Think along the lines of dipping and not spreading. This “ketchup” is more like a finishing touch and not a condiment of sizable proportions.

Find a space where you can enjoy and taste the subtleties of this ketchup. I could be very happy eating this with just a spoon!
