Otafuku Gluten Free Eel Sauce Sushi Glaze — 83.8 oz Restaurant Half-Gallon, Thick Sweet-Savory Finish

This half-gallon of Otafuku Gluten Free Sushi Eel Sauce delivers a rich, glossy finish familiar in sushi bars and Japanese kitchens. Made by Japan's leading sauce manufacturer and bottled in Los Angeles, it provides the sweet-savory balance used to glaze eel, finish rolls, and liven steamed rice while remaining vegetarian and free from gluten, high fructose corn syrup, MSG, preservatives, and additives. The concentrated, syrupy texture means a little goes a long way, making the 5.25-pound jug a practical choice for restaurants, caterers, and home cooks who prepare large volumes.

What makes this eel sauce different from regular soy or teriyaki sauces?

Otafuku's eel sauce is thicker and sweeter than standard soy, with a glossy consistency that clings to rolls and grilled items. It’s formulated specifically to mimic traditional unagi glaze while avoiding wheat and other common allergens.

• Viscous, syrup-like texture that stays on sushi and grilled dishes
• Sweet-salty balance tuned for Japanese cuisine rather than general seasoning
• Gluten-free and vegetarian formulation for broader dietary compatibility

How should I use this sauce in a busy restaurant kitchen?

Use it as a finishing glaze, a dipping sauce, or a drizzle to add shine and flavor to plates. Because it’s concentrated and thick, measure sparingly for consistent taste and keep the jug refrigerated after opening to maintain freshness.

• Brush over grilled eel, vegetables, or protein for a caramelized finish
• Drizzle on maki, nigiri, or rice bowls for presentation and flavor
• Use small squeeze bottles or portion cups to control yield and reduce waste

Is this product safe for diners with gluten sensitivities?

Yes — this eel sauce is produced without gluten-containing ingredients and is labeled gluten free. It’s manufactured to meet vegetarian and no‑preservative preferences, though kitchens should still avoid cross-contact if preparing for highly sensitive diners.

• Certified gluten free formulation — suitable for many with wheat allergies
• No MSG, no high fructose corn syrup, and no preservatives
• Store in refrigerator after opening to preserve quality and shelf life

How much product is in the jug and how long will it last in service?

The container holds 83.8 ounces (about 5.25 pounds), a half-gallon size tailored for foodservice use. Durability depends on frequency of use and refrigeration: kept cold after opening, this concentrated sauce typically lasts longer than thin soy-based condiments.

• One (1) 83.8 oz / 1⁄2 gallon jug — ideal for high-volume kitchens
• Concentrated consistency reduces required portion size per dish
• Refrigerate after opening and monitor for any changes in aroma or texture
