This refreshing sauce, prepared by thinning soy sauce with fresh citrus juice and rice vinegar, is the classic dipping accompaniment for sashimi and shabu-shabu in Japanese cuisine. With its sour-savory balance, it lightens fatty fish and meats.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Mix the liquids

3 min

Mix the soy sauce, lemon juice, rice vinegar, and water in a bowl.

2

Season to taste

2 min

Add the optional granulated sugar and mix until dissolved.

3

Let it rest and serve

10 min

Rest the sauce for at least 10 minutes, then serve in small bowls alongside sashimi, shabu-shabu, or grilled fish.

Reminder

Allergen: soy sauce may contain wheat (gluten); those on a gluten-free diet should choose gluten-free soy sauce. Important: squeeze and add the citrus juice right before serving, juice squeezed in advance can turn bitter. Note: the sauce is salty, so don't add extra salt on the side.

Editor's Note Editörün Notu

Adding a piece of kombu (dried seaweed) and letting the sauce rest for a few hours noticeably increases the umami depth characteristic of Japanese cuisine; if you're short on time, you can also prepare it by skipping this step.
