Korean, Mexican, Spanish. All fermented.
A 3-bottle bundle pairing JANG (Korean), Mole (Mexican), and IL MIG+ (Spanish). The most savory, fermentation-driven sauces in the ONIMA lineup, sold together for $38.99.
Three sauces from three cuisines, with one thing in common. JANG is built on gochujang and doenjang fermented for months in onggi clay vessels. Mole carries two koji-fermented misos from Shared Cultures in San Francisco. IL MIG+ is built on toasted rice koji. Different countries, different traditions, same starting point. Fermented soy or grain doing the structural work, with chile playing on top.
These sauces cook into the dish. A spoonful into a braise, into a tare, into a marinade. Reach for any of them the way you'd reach for fish sauce, miso, or anchovy paste. The dish gains a layer.

How to use them
JANG is the rice-and-noodle sauce. A spoonful stirred through bibimbap, into a ramen tare, brushed on short ribs in the last few minutes of braising. Swap it one-for-one for tub gochujang anywhere you'd reach for it.
Mole is the braise-and-grain sauce. Spoon it into birria or carnitas late in the cook. Drizzle it over roasted sweet potatoes, farro bowls, fatty tacos. It also crosses the bar in a mezcal negroni in place of Campari.
IL MIG+ is the everyday driver. Eggs. Avocado toast. Charred vegetables. Tinned fish. Whisked into a vinaigrette in place of vinegar. Brushed onto meat before the grill.
Who it's for
The cook who already deglazes with fish sauce and finishes with miso. The chilihead who's bored of heat-for-its-own-sake. The gift recipient who actually cooks. None of these sauces are punishment-tier. All three are mid-range heat (3 to 6 out of 10), so the bundle reads as a flavor flight, not a pain ladder.
FAQ
What is the Umami Hot Sauce 3-Pack?
A 3-bottle bundle of fermented hot sauces from ONIMA Pantry: JANG (Korean, 4/10), Mole (Mexican, 3/10), and IL MIG+ (Spanish, 6/10). Sold together for $38.99.
What does umami mean in a hot sauce?
Umami is the savory, mouth-filling sensation in fermented foods, aged cheeses, mushrooms, and cured meats. In hot sauce, it comes from fermented soy, koji, miso, or long-aged peppers. Umami-forward sauces belong in cooking, not just on top of it.
How spicy is the bundle?
Mid-range across the board. Mole is 3/10, JANG is 4/10, IL MIG+ is 6/10. No superhots here. The bundle is built for depth and complexity rather than peak heat.
Are these sauces vegan?
Yes. All three are plant-based.
Are these sauces gluten-free?
IL MIG+ and Mole are likely gluten-free (no wheat ingredients on the labels, confirming with our co-packer). JANG contains gochujang and doenjang and is not gluten-free.
Is this a good gift?
Yes, especially for serious home cooks. Three different cuisines, three different fermentation traditions, one Hot Ones credit (IL MIG+, Season 24).
Where are these sauces made?
San Diego, California.
