The Soy Sauce Format Your Customers Know Without Being Told
Fish-shaped soy sauce sachets are the most recognisable single-serve format in sushi takeaway. Each 3ml tare-bin holds a controlled portion of Kōmi dark soy sauce — twist off the cap, dispense, done. No mess in the delivery bag, no wasted sauce, no explanation required. This 500-sachet case is built for high-volume sushi operations, catering, and hotel food service where per-cover consistency matters as much as presentation.
More from the Kōmi soy range: gluten-free tamari soy sauce, gluten-free teriyaki sauce and soy sauce sachets (x400).
Why Chefs Choose This
- Portion control: 3ml per sachet means consistent soy sauce volume per cover — no over-serving, no waste across a high-volume service
- Instant legibility: The fish format signals sushi without a label — customers know exactly what it is before they open it
- Bulk economy: 500 sachets per case keeps cost per unit below 10p and reduces reorder frequency during service weeks
- Leak-proof in transit: Sealed twist-off cap stays closed in delivery bags, cleaner than tear-open flat sachets
How to Use
- Sushi takeaway: One sachet per individual box or bento is the professional standard across UK sushi operations
- Sushi platters: Two to three sachets per platter serving two to four covers
- Catering and events: Place alongside sushi platters for clean, self-service portioning without staff involvement
- Hotel room service: Compact format sits on trays without spillage risk during delivery
The story behind the fish
The fish-shaped soy sauce container — called a tare-bin (タレビン) in Japanese, from tare meaning sauce and bin meaning vessel — has been part of bento and takeaway culture since the mid-twentieth century. The design is functional throughout: a squeezable body for measured dispensing, a narrow nozzle to limit over-pouring, and a sealed twist cap built for transport. Inside is Kōmi dark soy sauce, made for Kōmi by a family that has brewed soy in Japan for eighteen generations using traditional methods. Kōmi brings that production tradition into a format designed specifically for professional kitchen and takeaway use.
What soy sauce do professional sushi restaurants use?
For takeaway and catering, the standard is a clean, rounded dark soy sauce with salt forward and no harsh edge — the profile that complements raw fish without overpowering delicate flavours. Kōmi's dark soy sauce fits that profile directly: the 3ml portion gives enough seasoning per piece without saturating the rice. For a product that handles thousands of covers per week without being noticed, the calibration is exactly what a professional operation needs. For a full breakdown of soy sauce styles and how Japanese kitchens use them, read the SushiSushi soy sauce guide.

What are fish-shaped soy sauce bottles called?
In Japan they are called tare-bin (タレビン) — tare meaning sauce, bin meaning vessel. The fish shape is the most common design, though the format exists in other shapes. Tare-bin have been standard in bento packaging since the mid-twentieth century and remain the default 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 the professional standard. For larger platters serving two to four people, two to three sachets is typical. A 500-unit case covers approximately 400 to 500 individual takeaway orders — roughly one to two weeks of service for a busy sushi bar, depending on volume.
Are fish soy sauce sachets better than standard soy sauce packets for takeaway?
For sushi, yes. Tear-open flat sachets leak easily in delivery bags and leave residue on packaging. The tare-bin format is sealed with a twist-off cap: the customer controls when and how much is dispensed, and the packaging stays clean en route. The fish shape also signals authenticity — it tells the customer this is a proper sushi operation rather than a generic delivery outlet. We also stock the more economical flat soy sauce sachets for high-volume use.
