Kikkoman Zarusoba Tsuyu Dipping Sauce 17 fl oz

Kikkoman Zarusoba Tsuyu is a concentrated dipping sauce specially formulated for zarusoba—chilled soba noodles served with a dipping sauce. This tsuyu combines soy sauce, dashi (bonito fish stock), and mirin to create a savory, umami-rich, and slightly sweet flavor that pairs perfectly with the earthy taste of soba noodles.

Key Features:

1. Authentic Flavor: Combines traditional Japanese seasonings for an authentic zarusoba experience.
2. Versatile Use: While designed for zarusoba, it can also be used as a dipping sauce, soup base, or marinade.
3. Convenient: Ready to use—just dilute with water as needed.

How to Use:

1. For Zarusoba:
   • Dilute the tsuyu with cold water in a 1:2 or 1:3 ratio (1 part tsuyu to 2 or 3 parts water).
   • Serve chilled alongside cooked and rinsed soba noodles.
   • Add garnishes such as chopped green onions, grated ginger, or wasabi for extra flavor.
2. As a Soup Base:
   • Use it to create a light, flavorful broth for udon, soba, or somen noodles by diluting with hot water (1:4 or 1:5 ratio).
3. For Dipping Sauce:
   • Ideal for tempura or cold noodle dishes.
   • Dilute to your desired concentration for dipping.
4. Marinade or Glaze:
   • Use it as a marinade for meats, tofu, or vegetables or as a glaze for grilled dishes.

Tips for Serving Zarusoba:

• Preparation: Boil soba noodles according to package instructions, then rinse thoroughly in cold water to stop cooking and enhance the texture.
• Serving Style: Place the noodles on a bamboo mat (zaru) and serve with the tsuyu in a small dipping bowl.
• Enhancements: Garnish the dipping sauce with nori (seaweed strips), sesame seeds, or grated daikon for added flavor.
