FAQs

 

What does Umami Bomb taste like?

Umami Bomb is rich, savoury, and a little spicy. The dominant flavours come from ingredients like fermented bean paste, tamari, tomato, shiitake mushrooms, and aromatic spices. Umami Bomb was inspired by global flavours and travel and includes ingredients from many countries including Japan, South Korea, Canada, and the United States.

 

How much Umami Bomb should I use?

We recommend a generous tablespoon (or two) per serving. 

 

Do I use Umami Bomb during cooking?

For maximum flavour, add Umami Bomb after cooking. For example, if you’re adding it to a stir fry, add it off the heat as a finishing sauce.

 

What is the shelf-life of Umami Bomb?

Unopened, Umami Bomb is shelf-stable for two years from the date of production. Please refer to the label on the bottom of the jar for the month and year of expiry. After opening, store your Umami Bomb in the fridge and consume within a few weeks for best flavour.

 

Is Umami Bomb a hot sauce?

 

Umami Bomb can bring the heat, but it is not a typical hot sauce. We promise you an umami-rich flavour experience that's so craveable and addictive, some customers eat it by the spoonful!

 

Is Umami Bomb gluten free?

No, Umami Bomb is not gluten-free. We are always expanding our product line and hope to have a gluten-free version available soon.
