Benefits of using sushi sauces in recipes
When it comes to sushi, there are a lot of different ways that you can enjoy this delicious Japanese dish. One of the best things about sushi is that it can be enjoyed with a variety of different sauces, which can add a whole new level of flavor and excitement to your meal.
In fact, when sushi is prepared correctly, you don’t need to add any soy sauce or other sauces before eating a piece. The chef has combined flavors and textures to perfection so you should eat it the way he or she intended it.
It’s why you should always enjoy a piece of sushi in its entirety, so you can be sure you get all of the flavors in the correct amounts simultaneously.
Why you should add different sauces to your sushi too:
- they can add a new flavor dimension to your sushi rolls
- they can be used to add moisture and flavor to dry ingredients
- they can be used as a dipping sauce for your sushi rolls if you intend your guests to finish the flavor profile at the table
- they are perfectly doable when making your sushi at home, the sushi is the hard part here, not the sauce

How to use these sushi sauces
The best way to use these is to use a squeeze bottle. The sauces can be pretty thin, except for the teriyaki and nitsume, so if you try to pour them on your sushi, they’ll just run off. By using a squeeze bottle, you can control how much sauce you use and where you place it on your sushi.
How to store homemade sushi sauces
These sauces can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. I recommend storing them in Mason jars or other airtight containers to keep them fresh.
The advantage of making them yourself is you can use fresh ingredients without any additives. The downside is that you have to use them up pretty quickly, not like the shelf-life of 2+ years some of the bottled sauces have.
