Umami bomb: what does umami mean? I get this question a lot. Umami is that rich, deep, meaty intensity that you get from certain foods. Think soy sauce, mushrooms, dried chiles. Umami comes from the japanese word for delicious, umai, and that is exactly what this sauce is. Roasted veggies, dried chiles, dried mushrooms and tamari come together to create a depth of flavor in this bottle, similar to a mole sauce. Switch out umami bomb for any of your favorite bbq or steak sauces for that extra kick! Pro tip: put a tablespoon at the bottom of your bowl before you pour your ramen in! Add a little honey for the perfect grilling glaze. Spice level: mild to medium
