Category: Hot Sauce Single

A rich, layered sauce where bold heat meets delicate balance. Scorpion peppers and habaneros bring a fiery rush, cooled and rounded by silky olive oil and the savory depth of rice koji. Garlic and coriander add warmth, while smoked paprika and aged sherry vinegar lend a tangy, aromatic finish that lingers just long enough. Every element—from the fermented mash to the hint of salt—works in harmony, creating a sauce that’s as refined as it is fierce. Pair it with wings, grilled veggies or to top of your ramen!

Richard ★★★★★

That first taste hits you with a serious scorpion pepper punch, but then the olive oil and koji smooth everything out into something surprisingly complex. I've been putting it on everything from tacos to eggs, and the garlic-coriander finish keeps me coming back for more.

Ruby Q. ★★★★★

I was skeptical about rice koji in a hot sauce, but it adds a subtle umami depth that keeps me coming back for more. The heat from the scorpion peppers builds slowly and lingers nicely without being overwhelming.

Ryan G. ★★★★★

That olive oil base really mellows out the scorpion pepper's initial punch, making it easy to drizzle over tacos without overwhelming everything else. The rice koji adds a savory depth I haven't found in other hot sauces.
