Everyone in Aomori Prefecture knows this! What is the appeal of stamina source sauce?

Stamina sauce

If you look into the refrigerator of any citizen of Aomori Prefecture, you will almost certainly find a source of stamina. The reason it is so loved is the depth of its flavor. Aomori is a major producer of garlic. This source sauce uses plenty of garlic grown in Aomori. The rich flavor, which is a perfect combination of salty and sweet, is perfect for yakiniku. The fragrant aroma that rises while baking is irresistible!

Even more surprising is the versatility of this stamina source. In addition to yakiniku, it goes well with any type of dish, such as stir-fried vegetables, fried rice, fried chicken, or hot pot. In fact, it may be used for things other than yakiniku. Especially when you have a busy day and want to make something quick, you can make the main dish in no time if you have the stamina sauce. Even if you are not confident in your cooking skills, you can easily make a dish that will make you say ``delicious!'' by using source sauce, and above all, the taste is determined by the source sauce alone, so it is worth having on hand. .

Recently, in addition to the regular stamina source sauce, sweet types with less spiciness and salt-grilled sauces have also appeared. Traditional stamina sauce is made with ginger and garlic and is quite spicy, but the sweet soft type is popular because it is so sweet that even children can eat it. Salt-grilled sauce is recommended not only for meat, but also for soups, yakisoba, and cold yakko.

When you think of Aomori's BBQ "Nigu", you think of the stamina source sauce.

Previously, I introduced that at barbecues in the Tsugaru region, sagari and pork offal are the main dishes, and what comes at that time is stamina gen sauce. I remember eating it with sauce, regardless of whether it was meat or vegetables, sauce or salt. The aroma of juicy yakiniku mixed with plenty of sauce and grilled over charcoal is just amazing! It's bad manners, but I once poured stamina sauce over rice and made it into a yakiniku bowl.

Also, if you serve a dish using source sauce to a friend visiting from another prefecture and say, ``Taste Aomori's soul food!'', they will almost certainly rave and say, ``Wow, this is so delicious!'' Everyone bought them and took them home, but at the time there were very few products sold outside of Aomori, so we sometimes sent them in bulk. Nowadays, Stamina Source Sauce has become famous nationwide, and more places seem to be selling it, but the price is high... They also sell it online, so if you want to try it, please buy it. .
