Amazon.com: Customer reviews: Bull Dog Tonkatsu Sauce

Seller got it to me quickly and packing was good. It tasted like a more complex ketchup. I saw this on YouTube food show and found it here. I have no complaint against the product nor the seller.

Tastes almost like I remember...just way too salty

I lived in Thailand for a while years ago, and I fell in love with this Bulldog Tonkatsu Sauce. It is impossible to find in my town, so I was very happy when I found it here!
I have used it on several food items (chicken and pork dishes, mainly), and it tastes almost exactly how I remember! It is very tasty, and adds a good flavor to the meal. However, my main issue is how salty it is. It has 340mg of Sodium per tablespoon, and you can definitely taste the salt. I don't remember it being this salty in Thailand, but maybe my pallet has changed? (I do shy away from very salty products, so perhaps it stands out more to me) Or, it could be that the US version is manufactured differently. Who knows, but I do wish it was less salty because it distracts from the taste. Other than the salty taste, it does add good flavor to the dish!

I was turned on to this sauce when I went to Japan for the first time in 1973! Loved it ever since!

I Wasn't a Sauce Person until I met Bull-Dog Tonkatsu Sauce

Bull-Dog Vegetable + Fruit Tonkatsu Sauce is a pantry must, in my book. Tangy, rich, and insanely versatile for a buffet of dishes: case and point: Tonkatsu is a Japanese dish of breaded deep fried pork cutlet and yet my husband and I are pesco-vegetarian and don't eat meat aside from fish. Yet this 'deep fried pork' sauce hits the mark for us for fried tofu, broiled salmon, Morning Star vegetarian "chicken" nuggets (my favorite use for this sauce) and just as a simple dipping sauce for french fries and root vegetables such as carrots. I also love to add this sauce to homemade gravy, soups and stews, and chili. See? Versatile little bottle!

Ingredients:
Water, High Fructose Corn Syrup, Sugar, Distilled Vinegar (made from alcohol), Tomato paste, salt, modified rice starch, apple puree, yeast extract, spices prune paste, carrots onions and lemon juice.

CONTAINS: Soy + High Fructose Corn Syrup
PERK: Does not contain wheat according to the ingredient label, nor do I or my husband (who are both gluten sensitive) have any bad reactions when consuming this product.

Taste: If you were to dilute A1 sauce with worcestershire, ketchup, sugar and lemon juice, you'd get a similar taste to this Bull-Dog tonkatsu sauce. If you aren't a fan of tangy, this might not be for you.

Shipping: I ordered this March 23 2014 and it arrived March 25 2014, securely packaged and without any damage. I was very pleased.

Expiration: It is always a risk, it seems, buying food on amazon hoping the expiration date isn't past or a week away- but I was happy to see the expiration date was November 2015. Trust me, it won't last two months in this home. We're crazy for it!

I hope this was helpful. If you're on the fence on buying this product, I say go for it. It isn't for everyone. Whereas I loved it at hello, it took a few meals until my husband was a big fan (he particularly enjoys it as a marinade for white fish and salmon, I imagine it works great for chicken and steak in the same manner). Don't think of this as just a sauce replacement for A1, ketchup or BBQ. It stands on it's own, and makes a great addition to add some variety to your weekly meals. Enjoy!
