Brown sauce on top of sushi rolls?

Question

I buy sushi rolls from local restaurants and some of them have a brown sauce drizzled over them, which soaks into the rice. I love the sauce, but I don't know what it is. Does anyone know?

Answer 1

if it tastes sweet, it is probably the japanese soy sauce!

Answer 2

Plum sauce.

Answer 3

I believe it is a soy sauce and an oil mixture with scallions cut up in it. If it has a fishy smell then that would be fish sauce. There is also a oyster sauce. It is one of these things. I have seen many different types of sauce just not sure of which one you are referring too. Hope I helped.

Answer 4

It's eel sauce!!

Answer 5

I just had Sushi on Friday night and they top it with eel sauce.

Answer 6

Since the sauce on top of smoked eel is basically teriyaki, then it is teriyaki sauce, which you can easily make at home.

Answer 7

It is eel sauce...I hope this detailed description helps you out.  I'm a big fan of Sushi and love the sauce my self.  

Eel sauce (kabayaki sauce) is commonly used in the preparation of broiled fresh water eel (unagi) and salt water eel (anago.) The thick, sweet, hickory flavored sauce is heated and drizzled on sushi prepared with eel. Eel sauce is also delicious with other sushi and non-sushi creations alike. Eel sauce includes soy sauce, syrup, eel extract, and mirin. The texture and flavor is a perfect match for toasted unagi. It is best to heat eel sauce in a metal or glass container placed in 3/4 inch boiling water on the stove.

Answer 8
