Mr. Yoshida’s Spicy Wing & Rib Sauce has officially debuted in the United States, representing the brand’s inaugural limited-time spicy product since its restructuring. As of April 8, 2025, this enticing sauce combines sweet and spicy elements, available on Amazon for $25, packaged in two 46 oz bottles. Previously, this flavorful sauce was only available in Australia and the U.K. Its U.S. launch comes after the brand returned to independent ownership in 2024, under CEO Junki Yoshida, who reacquired it from Heinz.
This latest offering from Mr. Yoshida’s aims to capture the attention of grilling aficionados and culinary enthusiasts alike. The sauce is expertly crafted to serve as a marinade, glaze, or dipping enhancer for both meats and vegetables. Alongside the Spicy Wing & Rib Sauce, the company continues to market its Original Gourmet Sauce and a bulk “Chef Pack”for professional chefs and avid home cooks.
Ingredients and Flavor Profile of the Spicy Wing & Rib Sauce
The Spicy Wing & Rib Sauce artfully fuses the robust heat of chili pepper with the sweetness characteristic of teriyaki. Key ingredients include soy sauce, garlic, and ginger, which contribute to its unique “swicy”(sweet and spicy) taste. This sauce is conveniently pre-mixed, allowing for immediate usage as a marinade, glaze, or dipping sauce.
While the formula draws inspiration from versions available abroad, it has been adjusted to align with American taste preferences, featuring a well-balanced heat profile. Furthermore, the sauce is gluten-free and remains shelf-stable, eliminating the need for refrigeration prior to opening.
In a press release dated April 8, Junki Yoshida expressed enthusiasm regarding the launch:
“We’re thrilled to finally bring our Spicy Wing & Rib Marinade to U.S. customers. This bold new flavor is just the beginning and will help drive even more growth for the brand.”
He further elaborated:
“After an incredible year since reacquiring the company, we’re excited to keep the momentum going and build a legacy that will last for generations—starting with this fiery new marinade.”
Pricing, Availability, and Limited Edition Status
The Spicy Wing & Rib Sauce is priced at $25 for a package of two 46 oz bottles, available exclusively on Amazon as a limited-run item while supplies last. Currently, it is not offered in physical retail locations, which enhances its exclusivity for U.S. customers.
Those outside the U.S. can utilize Amazon’s global shipping options to access the sauce. This launch coincided with the release of the brand’s “Chef Pack,”featuring the popular Original Gourmet Sauce, which has also made its return to Amazon, Costco, and Walmart in 2024.
Future Collaborations and Product Development
Looking ahead, Mr. Yoshida’s strategy for 2025 includes engaging in partnerships with local businesses, particularly those based in Portland. This initiative builds on the success of their December 2024 collaboration with Cloud City Ice Cream, which featured a limited-edition Grilled Pineapple Ice Cream with Caramelized Teriyaki Drizzle that sold out within 24 hours.
Although specific future plans remain under wraps, the brand is committed to introducing additional small-batch sauces and culinary partnerships. Updates regarding new releases will be communicated through the company’s social media channels (@mryoshidas).
Where to Purchase Mr. Yoshida’s Sauces
The Spicy Wing & Rib Sauce can only be found on Amazon, whereas the Original Gourmet Sauce is available in retail chains such as Costco, Walmart, and over 10,000 grocery stores across the U.S. While international customers in Australia and the U.K. can find the spicy variant in local shops, this marks its inaugural availability in the U.S. market. For all newly launched products, customers can visit Yoshida Foods’ website, which redirects to its Amazon storefront.
The introduction of the Spicy Wing & Rib Sauce expands Mr. Yoshida’s flavor portfolio, appealing to consumers who appreciate bold and adaptable tastes. Its limited availability and online exclusivity may create a sense of urgency among collectors and barbecue lovers. With plans for further collaborations and flavor innovations, the brand is poised to secure its position in the condiment industry while paying homage to its Japanese culinary heritage. As the grilling season approaches, the timing of this launch aligns perfectly with increased consumer demand for marinades and glazes.
