Haguruma, Japanese Ketchup, 300ml
A smaller pack of the Haguruma ketchup Japanese kitchens already trust.
Why Chefs Choose This
- Same recipe, smaller pack: the 300ml pack of the 500g Haguruma ketchup already in the SushiSushi range, for sites that go through less.
- Built for yoshoku: the base for Japanese Western dishes like omurice and napolitan, where ketchup is a core seasoning rather than a condiment.
- Consistent supply: the same product chefs already spec for Japanese-Western menus, in a size that suits a smaller pass.
- No added colouring: the pack states 無着色 (no added colouring), one of the label declarations visible on Haguruma's ketchup range.
How to Use
- Omurice: the classic base, ketchup stirred through fried rice and drizzled over the omelette.
- Napolitan spaghetti: the core seasoning for this Japanese-Western pasta dish.
- Okonomiyaki finishing: a base layer under okonomiyaki sauce and mayonnaise.
- Bento sides: a familiar condiment for fried and battered items in a lunch box.
Ketchup entered Japanese cooking through yoshoku (洋食), the category of Western-inspired dishes that Japanese cooks adapted from the late 19th century onward, and it became a core seasoning in dishes like omurice and napolitan rather than a side condiment as in Western use. Haguruma is an established Japanese food manufacturer; this 300ml pack is the smaller size of the 500g Haguruma ketchup already stocked at SushiSushi.
What does Haguruma ketchup taste like?
A smooth, tomato-forward ketchup in the style used across Japanese kitchens for yoshoku cooking, balanced rather than aggressively sweet, and consistent enough to build a dish's seasoning around rather than just finish it. Full flavour detail is on the pack label.

What is the difference between this and the 500g Haguruma ketchup?
Only the pack size. This 300ml pack is the smaller size of the same Haguruma ketchup already stocked at 500g, useful for sites that go through less or want a smaller open pack on the line.
Is Japanese ketchup different from Western ketchup?
The base is tomato ketchup either way, but in Japan it is used as a core cooking seasoning in yoshoku dishes like omurice and napolitan spaghetti, rather than mainly as a table condiment for chips and burgers.
How should I store this ketchup after opening?
Keep it refrigerated once opened and reseal the pack securely to avoid contamination. Check the label for the specific best-before guidance for this batch.
