Okonomi sauce is a descendant of Worcestershire sauce, but it is far sweeter and less salty than its British ancestor. This is because Worcestershire's main ingredient and the source of its powerful umami flavor is anchovies, while okonomi sauce's main ingredient is dates. Worcestershire sauce also uses tamarind, which has a taste that is both sweet and sour, while okonomi sauce uses raisins for a milder flavor. And as we mentioned above, it's much thicker than traditional Worcestershire sauce.
Otafuku's label lists sugar, white vinegar, molasses, salt, tomato paste, apple, carrot, peach, dates, onions, raisins, mushrooms, garlic, kelp and spices among other ingredients.
It is the best for Okonomiyaki, takoyaki, fried noodles and Udon.
