Tare - Where Does the Amazing Flavor Come From?
Enthusiasts of Japanese cuisine and genuine barbecue aficionados are likely familiar with this unique sauce from the land of the rising sun. Tare is also a well-known name whenever you desire Japanese-style grilled dishes, especially at Pachi Pachi.

Tare - A familiar thick, fragrant sauce for barbecue enthusiasts
Tare is a collective term for marinades and dipping sauces for Japanese-style grilled meat, made from four main ingredients: soy sauce (miso), sugar, mirin, and sake (or rice vinegar). Depending on preferences or secret recipes, Tare may also include other ingredients such as fruits, honey, sesame oil, etc.

Tare can be used for marinating or dipping grilled meat
Among the four ingredients mentioned above, miso is a thick, creamy sauce, ranging in color from brown to dark brown depending on the aging process. It is made from fermented soybeans, grains, and barley, making it very healthy. Miso provides a salty yet mild taste, accompanied by the aroma of rice, soybeans, and mushrooms.

Mirin is a type of seasoning alcohol that 95% of Japanese housewives are familiar with, with a pale yellow color, slightly thicker and denser than water. Mirin has a sugar content of about 40-50%, alcohol around 13-15%, hence it has a distinctive sweet aroma. Because the sugar in mirin is produced through the fermentation process of glutinous rice, malted rice, and malt, the sweet taste of mirin is extremely natural and not harsh.

Mirin helps create shine, neutralizes fishy odors, and enhances seasoning absorption
If miso is used to add saltiness, mirin contributes sweetness and shine to the food. Additionally, it helps neutralize the fishy odor of seafood and prepares the way for seasonings to quickly penetrate the food without breaking, bursting, or making ingredients mushy. This is why mirin is chosen as a key component of barbecue sauce - it not only makes the meat shiny and beautiful, helps seasonings absorb quickly, but also naturally enhances sweetness without making the meat charred when grilled, and conveniently helps neutralize the fishy odor of seafood!

Mirin adds a glossy touch to marinated dishes.
Crafting the Tare formula is about achieving the perfect balance between salty and sweet flavors to enhance the grilled meat's aroma. Adjusting the components allows for customization to suit individual preferences, balancing saltiness and sweetness for the most satisfying taste.

With Tare sauce, Pachi Pachi's dishes not only tantalize the taste buds but also captivate the eyes and stimulate the sense of smell even more. Gone are the raw meaty or strong fishy flavors; instead, Tare imparts a delicate aroma of rice wine, soybeans, and fruits to grilled ingredients. This aroma becomes even more pronounced and enticing after being grilled over the charcoal fire.
If you pay attention, you'll notice that after being dipped in Tare, the meat becomes glossier and much more tender. The Tare sauce envelops the entire piece of meat, and during grilling, a few drops of sauce fall onto the glowing charcoal, igniting a small flame and a cheerful crackling sound. Hence, the name Pachi Pachi (which means the sound of 'crackle, crackle' from grilled meat) was born!
