ALOHA Shoyu Kalbi Sauce 24 oz — Low-Sodium Hawaiian marinade, ready-to-use garlic-ginger glaze for grilling

Made in Hawaii since 1946, ALOHA Shoyu Kalbi Sauce blends fermented soybean shoyu with sugar, garlic, and ginger to recreate the savory-sweet profile popular in Hawaiian and Korean-inspired grilling. This 24 oz bottle arrives pre-mixed so you can marinate, baste, or finish proteins and vegetables without measuring or mixing multiple ingredients. The formulation emphasizes lower sodium than many traditional shoyu marinades while keeping bold flavor for weeknight dinners, backyard barbecues, and restaurant-style plates at home.

How do I use this Kalbi sauce for best results?

Use it straight from the bottle as a marinade, glaze, or dipping sauce. For tender results, marinate beef short ribs or flank steak for at least 2–4 hours; for quicker options, baste meats during grilling or brush on in the last few minutes of cooking to create a glossy finish.

• Marinate beef for 2–12 hours for deeper flavor and tenderness
• Baste during grilling to form a caramelized glaze
• Mix with sesame oil and green onions for a quick dipping sauce
• Toss with tofu or vegetables before roasting for savory-sweet coating

What makes this product low sodium and still flavorful?

ALOHA crafted this Kalbi sauce to reduce sodium without sacrificing the savory backbone of traditional shoyu. The recipe leans on balanced sweetness and aromatics—garlic and ginger—to create prominent taste cues so less salt is needed but the overall flavor remains robust.

• Fermented soy-based shoyu provides umami depth
• Sugar and aromatics mask the sensation of lower salt
• Designed for marinating to concentrate flavor during cooking
• Suitable for people moderating sodium who still want bold taste
