S&B Tasty Hayashi Rice Sauce Mix, 5.6-Ounce

This was my first time using Hayashi rice sauce, and I was pleasantly surprised by how good it was! The sauce was rich, savory, and flavorful without the heat being too spicy. It was incredibly easy to use. The box makes enough for several servings, making it a great value for the money. The quality and flavor were better than I expected, and dinner came together in no time. Definitely something I’ll keep on hand and make again.

I always wondered what that all purpose brown sauce was that gets slathered over YouTube omurice and Japanese French omelettes. I imagine this is it. Such subtle but rich goodness, with some demi glace and Espagnole action. Can't mess with the Japanese, no sir.

I love this!

If you ever made japanese curry with the curry flavored roux, this works basically the same way, except you end up with quick roux thickened beef stew, with a sauce similar to demi-glace. All you need is some thinly sliced quick cooking beef and sliced onions. Serve over rice, preferably a japanese style of shirt grain rice. I like the Tamanishiki brand, of which I have bought about a dozen 15 pond bags over the last few years, but I haven’t tried too many other brands. Do not recommend Calrose rice, but I only trie it once. That was enough, and Tamanishiki is infinitely better in my opinion, though there are several other brands that, based on what I have read or heard, I wouldn’t hesitate to try if my regular brand was unavailable. Sorry for the tangent. In conclusion, S&B Tasty Hayashi Rice Sauce mix makes for a quick and great comfort food. The word hayashi comes from the French word hacker, like the word hash, as in hash browns, or corned beef hash, and related to the English hack, meaning finely chopped or cut up.

The sauce is a little thinner than I expected, but was easy enough to thicken a bit. It tastes good and is easy to cook, but I admit I expected a bit more tomato flavor. I intend to order it again, but next time I might try adding a bit of tomato paste for both the flavor and consistency.

Not like a beef stew flavor but more like a demi glace sauce flavor. I sometimes use it for the sauce over the hamburger as gravy, too. It’s a nice change from the beef stew.

I always wanted to try it. I like the flavor.

Bought this item could not find in local stores. Shipped all way from Japan. And you know what they did not charge a phenomenal amount like they do here in the U.S. for shipping etc. I paid I think like 8.00 a package got two very reasonable for item I could not locate here. Phenomenal Gravy!!! The best I have ever had and used in my stews and soups! Just takes a few weeks which is not a bother for something I want to keep in my pantry.

Excelente 😁

Tastes great.

Great taste. Just love it

Mi novia ama la comida japonesa y quería probar una receta de spaghetti hayashi que vio en internet, por lo cual decidí probar este producto. Es un sabor totalmente distinto al curry de esta marca (que igual es delicioso y compro con frecuencia); es un demi-glace con intenso umami y sabor a res. Medio paquete (vienen 2 bloques) rinden lo suficiente para medio kilo de carne y ya preparado son fácil 6 a 8 porciones. Comimos muy rico casi toda la semana. Recomendado.
