S&B La-Yu Chili Oil

S&B La-Yu Chili Oil is a quintessential Japanese condiment, renowned for its vibrant red color and spicy kick. The brand, S&B Foods, traces its origins back to Tokyo, Japan, where it was founded in 1923 by Minejiro Yamazaki. The company is celebrated for introducing curry powder to the Japanese market and has since become a global leader in authentic Japanese spices and sauces.

The product is primarily manufactured in Japan, maintaining strict quality standards that have made it a staple in both domestic and international kitchens. S&B Foods Inc. remains the ultimate owner and operator of the brand, continuing its legacy as an independent entity headquartered in Tokyo. Their La-Yu chili oil is typically made with sesame oil infused with chili peppers, used widely to enhance the flavor of gyoza, ramen, and various stir-fry dishes.
