Otafuku Sauce and Saido Debut Plant-Based Tonkotsu Soup
Otafuku Sauce, renowned for its iconic okonomiyaki sauces, has teamed up with the world-class vegan restaurant Saido Jiyugaoka to introduce a groundbreaking Plant-Based Tonkotsu-style soup Base.

The Inspiration: Award-Winning Vegan Tonkotsu Ramen
The new soup base draws inspiration from Saido’s legendary Vegan Tonkotsu Ramen, which received acclaim in Los Angeles for its rich, creamy flavor crafted entirely from plant-based ingredients. Chef Kusumoto of Saido collaborated closely with Otafuku Sauce’s development team to perfect this product, resulting in a delicious, umami-packed soup base replicating the depth of traditional tonkotsu broth.
Following the success of their vegan yakisoba sauce and umami dashi tsuyu, this soup marks Otafuku’s third major venture into plant-based innovation. The company plans to distribute the product not only across Japan but also internationally, further promoting sustainable and inclusive culinary options.
