TARE

A Tradition Built Over Time

Tare is one of the foundations of yakitori. Traditionally built from soy sauce, mirin, sake, and sweetness, it is applied throughout the grilling process, gradually reducing and caramelizing over the heat.

In many yakitori shops, the tare develops alongside the restaurant itself. Rather than starting from scratch each day, the sauce is replenished over time, creating a house preparation shaped by years of cooking.

At Gaijin, our tare is our own expression of that tradition balanced, continually refined, and made to work with the heat of the grill.
