When you pour the sauce,the aroma of garlicfills the air, stimulating your appetite.

You can see cloves of garlic in the sauce. One of Tare de Matsumoto's points of pride is "using fresh garlic from Takko, Aomori Prefecture, as an ingredient." The fact that you can see the cloves of garlic undoubtedly enhances the aroma of the sauce.

When you dip grilled meat in the sauce, the thick sauce clings to it perfectly

At the first bite, a rich, sweet and salty flavor and the spiciness of garlic spread across your tongue. The sweetness is refreshingly rich, reminiscent of fruit. Combined with the garlic aroma, it creates a deep flavor. In addition, the spicy kick of the garlic gives the dish a sharp, tangy taste

And the finishing touch to the sauce is the fat from the meat. The more you chew the meat, the juicier the sauce becomes.if you're dipping the meat in the sauce to eat the meat, or dipping the meat in the sauce to eat the sauce.

"Tare de Matsumoto," with its rich meat fat, is the perfect accompaniment to rice. Take a bite of the sauce-coated meat, bounce it on a bowl of white rice, and then gobble down the sauce-soaked rice. Repeating this process will surely make you want seconds.
