Shikuwasa Citrus & Red Pepper Okinawa Island Hot Sauce

Highlights Harmonious blend of fiery heat and sour tang Vibrant Okinawan flavors Use this spicy condiment on eveything Okinawa is famous for its hot sauces infused with local flavors and island spices. This special hot sauce balances fiery heat and earthy undertones with sour citrus. The citrus notes come from the addition of "shikuwasa" (hirami lemon) - a distinctive sour fruit typical of Okinawa and best described as a mix between a lime and yuzu. The shikuwasa is the perfect companion to the fiery heat of red peppers and hihatsumodoki, the Japanese word for Javanese long pepper. Javanese long peppers are similar to black pepper, but have a slightly sweet scent and are noticeably hotter and more pungent in taste with hints of ginger and bay leaves.
