Kōmi, Fish Shaped Soy Sauce Sachets, x 500
Bulk Soy Sauce in the Format Your Customers Actually Remember
Fish-shaped soy sauce sachets are the iconic single-serve soy sauce format used across Japanese takeaway and bento culture. Each fish contains a measured portion of soy sauce, dispensed with a simple twist of the cap — no mess, no waste, no additional packaging required. This 500-unit case is designed for high-volume sushi bars, takeaway operations, and catering services where portion control and presentation both matter.
Why Restaurants & Takeaways Choose This
- Portion control: Consistent soy sauce volume per sachet eliminates over-serving and reduces waste
- Brand recognition: The fish shape is instantly associated with sushi — customers know exactly what it is without labelling
- Bulk format: 500 units per case keeps cost per unit low and reduces reorder frequency
- No drip, no mess: Sealed sachets with twist-off cap — cleaner than open-pour bottles in delivery bags
How to Use
- Sushi takeaway: Drop one fish into each takeaway box or bento — the standard accompaniment
- Catering & events: Place alongside sushi platters for individual self-service portioning
- Room service & hotels: Compact format fits neatly on trays without spillage risk
- Retail kits: Include in DIY sushi kits or meal boxes as a finishing touch
Why do sushi restaurants use fish-shaped soy sauce bottles?
The fish-shaped soy sauce sachet — known in Japan as a tare-bin — has been a staple of bento and takeaway culture since the 1950s. The design is functional rather than decorative: the narrow nozzle controls flow, the squeezable body dispenses a precise amount, and the sealed cap prevents leakage during transport. Unlike sachets that tear open and leave residue, the fish format keeps everything contained until the customer is ready to use it. For sushi bars running high-volume takeaway, they solve a practical problem while adding a touch of authenticity that branded sauce packets simply cannot replicate.

What are the fish-shaped soy sauce bottles called?
In Japan, they are called tare-bin (タレビン), meaning "sauce container." The fish shape is the most recognisable design, though the format also exists in other shapes. Tare-bin have been part of Japanese bento culture since the mid-twentieth century and remain the standard soy sauce accompaniment for takeaway sushi across Japan and internationally.
How many fish soy sauce sachets do I need per sushi order?
One sachet per individual bento or takeaway box is standard. For larger sushi platters serving two to four people, two to three sachets is typical. A 500-unit case will cover approximately 400–500 individual takeaway orders, making it suitable for most sushi bars running a week or more of service depending on volume.
Are fish soy sauce sachets better than soy sauce packets for takeaway?
For sushi specifically, yes. Tear-open sachets leak easily in delivery bags and leave residue on packaging. The fish format is fully sealed with a twist-off cap, so customers control exactly when and how much soy sauce is dispensed. The shape also signals authenticity — it immediately tells the customer this is a proper sushi operation, not a generic food delivery outfit. For non-sushi takeaway, standard sachets may be more appropriate.
