Sake To Lees Umami Seasoning
Sake To Lees Umami Seasoning
Flavor Profile
Savory, complex, and deeply satisfying, Sake To Lees Umami Seasoning delivers layers of rich umami balanced with subtle sweetness, roasted garlic warmth, aromatic onion, and the gentle citrusy tingle of Sichuan peppercorns. Aged sake lees contribute a unique fermented depth with hints of toasted grain and delicate sweetness, while black sea salt enhances and rounds out every flavor.
What Makes It Special
Sake To Lees Umami Seasoning is crafted with dehydrated aged sake lees sourced from our friends at The Void Sake Company in Lexington, Kentucky. Traditionally prized in Japanese cuisine, sake lees are packed with naturally occurring flavor compounds that create exceptional umami and complexity.
We combine these aged sake lees with black sea salt, roasted garlic, onion, Sichuan peppercorns, and honey to create a seasoning that brings restaurant-quality depth to everyday cooking. Handcrafted in small batches, this blend offers a unique fusion of Japanese fermentation traditions and The Tickled Pickler’s flavor-first philosophy.

PRODUCT INFO
Our dehydrated spices are made from organic, all-natural ingredients and contain no preservatives or anti-clumping additives. As a result, some natural clumping may occur. To address this, spread the spices on parchment or wax paper and place them in your oven at the lowest setting. If your oven doesn’t go below 200 degrees, leave the door slightly open to let some heat escape. Bake for 8-12 minutes, or until the spices crumble easily.
All our vinegars have 5% acidity.
