Sauces in Japan
While the basic sauces for Japanese dishes can be prepared with a small number of ingredients, the growing popularity of foreign cuisine requires consumers to expand their kitchen essentials. In particular, mayonnaise-type and Worcestershire-type sauces were established as consumer favorites as dips or garnishing for deep-fried food. Other popular table condiments that are found as toppings in Japan include processed tomato seasonings, with tomato ketchup being the most prominent product in the market.
