At Japanese Village, we’ve been delivering exceptional taste and excellent quality dishes since 1972. Over the years, we’ve created many traditions and perfected three legendary sauces our guests have come to know by name.

All of our sauces are made daily by our chefs - in-house, with non-GMO, preservative-free and gluten-free soy sauce.

And did you know you can enjoy our delicious sauces at home? No, we're not sharing our recipes (those are highly guarded family secrets!) but we offer the sauces for purchase at the restaurant or through Skipthedishes.

Let's dive into the saucy details and how each can be used to get a little bit of Japanese Village into your own home...

  • First up, our Sesame Steak Sauce*. Made with toasted sesame seeds, garlic, and soy among other spices (that shall remain a secret, shhh!), this iconic sauce has robust and savory flavours that pair perfectly with AAA Canadian beef or bison dishes. Or simply pour it over rice for a delicious and easy meal (there’s no judging here).

    *Sesame Steak Sauce contains dairy, soy, sesame, garlic, and onion. It’s free from gluten, egg, nuts, artificial flavours and preservatives.

  • Next in line is our Ginger Sauce*, an abundance of ginger and onion that is like a Japanese chimichurri with a fresh and tart flavour profile that pairs perfectly with grilled vegetables, fresh seafood or chicken dishes. Use it as a dip or kick it up a notch by adding some Sriracha.

    *Ginger Sauce contains ginger, onion and soy. It’s free from dairy, gluten, egg, garlic, nuts, artificial flavours and preservatives.

  • And last, but certainly not least, our deliciously simple Apple-soy Vinaigrette*. We use only the freshest ingredients, including apples, garlic, premium-quality soy sauce and Suehiro vinegar to create the perfect balance of salty, sweet and sour. Whether it’s upping the flavour profile of a simple green salad or mixing it with mayo to create a dip for your vegetable sticks - we promise this smooth and versatile vinaigrette will be a hit.
