Bakasco Yuzu & Kaki Vinegar Pepper Sauce

Bakasco is a premium Japanese hot sauce, often referred to as 'Tokushima Soul Sauce' due to its deep roots in the Tokushima Prefecture. The product is a collaborative creation between two local specialist producers: Bando Foods, which provides the organic yuzu, and Kawazoe Fruit, which produces the unique kaki (persimmon) vinegar. The name 'Bakasco' is derived from the first syllables of the two partner companies, 'Ba' from Bando and 'Ka' from Kawazoe, combined with 'sco' as a nod to traditional hot sauce nomenclature.

Manufacturing takes place entirely within Tokushima, Japan, utilizing locally grown tabasco peppers, yuzu citrus, and persimmons. The brand is independently owned by the partnership of these two family-run agricultural businesses. This artisanal approach ensures that every step, from the cultivation of the fruit to the final blending and bottling, remains under the direct control of the original creators. Known for its refreshing citrus tang and balanced heat, it has gained international recognition as a versatile condiment for both Japanese and Western cuisines.
