Category: Hot Sauce Single

Friends of the Brooklyn hot sauce shop will recognize Mellow Habanero and our good friend Taku “Habanero Man” Kondo of ta-nm farm in Hyogo, Japan! This HEATONIST exclusive hot sauce combines Tak’s favorite golden habanero peppers with tangy, citrusy yuzu. The bright notes of the yuzu juice awaken the senses, leading the way for powerful up-front heat from the habanero. Balanced with mango and sea salt, it’s a one-of-a-kind sauce that can enliven any dish. Try it as a dipping sauce for sushi, on rice bowls, or mixed with soy sauce as a marinade for chicken or pork. Also delicious in cocktails!

Richard Q. ★★★★★

The flavor is so well-balanced—sweet, fruity, and that habanero kick creeps in gently, perfect for drizzling over eggs without scorching my mouth. Knowing it’s made with peppers from a single farm in Hyogo makes each drop feel a little special, and I’ve already gone through half the bottle in a week

Abigail ★★★★★

The heat builds slow and friendly, not like those aggressive sauces that punch you in the throat—this one lets the habanero flavor actually breathe. I've been putting it on everything from eggs to rice bowls, and the fact that it comes from a specific farm in Hyogo makes it feel special. Definitely

Scarlett ★★★★★

Took a chance on this bottle because of the Japanese farm connection and it's a real winner. The mellow heat lets the habanero flavor shine through without any of that vinegar bite, perfect for dousing my eggs every morning.
