Top 6 hibachi sauce recipes
Japanese Hibachi Mustard Sauce
This mustard sauce can taste sweet or spicy, depending on what kinds of food it’ll be used to pair with. And it’s eaten cold in small amounts, especially with meat.
This best-kept secret of Japanese hibachi-style steakhouse restaurants will make you want to make it over and over again.
And that’s fine, it’s great to eat with any type of meat, so don’t limit yourself to teppanyaki or hibachi, just pair it with your steak or other beef, and you’ll be good to go.
Japanese ginger dipping sauce
Soy sauce and vinegar are the most common ingredients used in Japanese sauces. Sake, ponzu, and mirin are also popular.
These ingredients can be used as standalone sauces or can be combined with other ingredients.
Usually, the ingredients are mixed together in a bowl. Take a look at my buying guide for a few handy tools to use for teppanyaki.
Is hibachi ginger sauce gluten-free?
Hibachi ginger sauce is not gluten-free because it has soy sauce in it. You could make it with tamari instead of soy sauce, but then chances are the sake used still has gluten in it. Only premium sake won’t have gluten.
Seafood Teppanyaki with Japanese sesame sauce
This is a great sauce to add to your seafood teppanyaki that’s straight from the hibachi restaurant.
Japanese sesame sauce
- 3 tbsp sake
- 2 tbsp nerigoma (tahini sauce)
- 1 tbsp ponzu
- 1 tbsp miso
- 2 tsp canola oil
- 2 tsp sesame oil (roasted)
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp rice vinegar
- 1 tsp mirin
- 1 clove garlic minced
Teppanyaki twist of Soy Sauce
Raise your hand if you ever wanted to try those grilled Japanese dishes that are made right in front of you on a grill and served with mouthwatering flavored sauce.
Now we don’t have to go all the way to Japan or find a Japanese steakhouse to eat these dishes but you can do these dishes all by yourself in the comfort of your home.

Hibachi restaurant salad dressing
Okay, as much as I love lunching and brunching on salads to maintain healthy and balanced eating habits, let’s agree on one thing- they are pretty bland, to begin with.
While a little black pepper and salt always do the trick for me, the craving for that extra flavor never disappears.
So when I have some time to spare, I use it to make hibachi restaurant salad dressing.
It’s a delicious blend of pretty basic ingredients. But when combined, they make a pretty deadly combination that is surely going to tantalize your tastebuds.
There’s a little sugar in there, but you can always replace it with honey to make it fit into your health regimen.

Is hibachi a sauce?
Hibachi itself doesn’t mean sauce but people often associate hibachi restaurants with the delicious sauces they serve.
Hibachi means fire bowl, and it refers to the open flame grill they use in the kitchen. The grill they cook on in front of you is called a teppan.
