Kikkoman Tonkatsu Sauce 2.1 kg Large Bottle — Sweet-Tangy Japanese Katsu Sauce, Thick Clinging Texture

Kikkoman Tonkatsu (Katsu) Sauce is a savory-tart Japanese condiment crafted from apples, pureed onions, tomato paste, carrots and traditionally brewed Kikkoman soy sauce — made to complement fried cutlets and a wide range of meats.

Inspired by classic tonkatsu restaurants in Japan, this 2.1 kilogram (4 lb 11 oz) bottle delivers a ready-to-use, sauce-shop quality topping for home cooks and foodservice kitchens. Its balanced blend of fruitiness and umami lifts the flavor of breaded pork cutlets, chicken katsu, and other roasted or fried proteins. Because it’s sold in a large-format container, it’s ideal for busy households, catering, or restaurants that want consistent flavor without mixing from scratch.

What makes this Kikkoman katsu sauce different from regular sauces?

This sauce combines sweet fruit notes with savory depth from traditionally brewed soy sauce, creating a tang-forward profile that’s neither too sweet nor too salty. It’s formulated to cling to crispy coatings while adding moisture and brightness to the meat beneath.

• Blend includes apples, pureed onions, tomato paste and carrots for layered flavor
• Uses Kikkoman’s traditionally brewed soy sauce for authentic umami
• Thicker consistency that adheres to panko and breaded crusts
• Large 2.1 kg size for frequent use or commercial settings

How should I use Kikkoman Tonkatsu Sauce in recipes?

Use it as a finishing sauce over fried cutlets, a dipping sauce for sliced meats, or a glaze for roasted poultry. It’s also a versatile component in sandwiches, burgers, and bowls where a sweet-tangy umami lift is desired.

• Pour directly over tonkatsu, chicken katsu, or korokke before serving
• Serve on the side as a dipping sauce for tempura or fried skewers
• Mix into slaws or dressings for crunchy salads
• Brush on grilled meats as a finishing glaze for caramelized flavor

How do I store and portion this large 2.1 kg bottle?

Keep the bottle sealed in a cool, dry place before opening; refrigerate after opening to preserve freshness. Because of the size, transfer smaller amounts into a squeeze bottle or serving jar for daily use to maintain quality and control portions.

• Store unopened in a pantry away from heat and light
• Refrigerate after opening and use within manufacturer-recommended time
• Decant into smaller bottles for precise dispensing and reduced waste
• Label decanted containers with open date for kitchen tracking
