Pietro Dressing Sesame and Miso Salad Dressing, 9.3 Oz. - Natural, Delicious Dressing and Marinade (Packaging May Vary)

Love the original taste!

You can kid yourself into thinking that a homemade sesame miso dressing is just as good as Angelo Pietro Sesame & Miso Dressing but anyone whose enjoyed the real thing will know better. Angelo Pietro dressings are versatile as a marinade for seafood, pork, poultry, and beef as well as a dip blended with mayonnaise and as a dressing for vegetable dishes and pasta. Bottles retail for $6-7 and can occasionally be found on sale, two for $8-10. All of this means that the Amazon price with the Subscribe & Save option, currently $5.89 is reasonable. Now, a 9.3-ounce bottle of dressing might not sound like a good value at the price but this dressing is dabbed on rather than poured on foods. The thin cap restricts the dressing to a slow dribble. How good is it? Well, my sons (ages 11 and 9), sneak pieces of French bread into the bottom of their salad bowl to soak up the last few drops. The salad bowls empty much faster when Angelo Pietro Sesame & Miso Dressing is added instead of ranch or Italian dressings. * All Natural, No MSG, No Cholesterol, No Preservatives * Made in the USA (California) INGREDIENTS: Expeller Pressed Canola Oil, Water, Brown Sugar, Sesame Oil, Rice Vinegar, Sesame Seeds, Onions, Salt, Distilled Vinegar, Soybeans, Contains 2% or Less of the Following: Rice, Wheat, Cottonseed Oil, Red Pepper, Fava Beans, Yeast Extract, Garlic, Citric Acid, Sardines, Maltodextrin, Tangle Extract, Maltose Syrup, Sugar, Spices, Xanthan Gum, Shiitake Mushroom Powder, Bonito Powder. Allergen Info: Contains Fish, Soy, Wheat Rating: Five stars EXTRA Here's the story behind the dressing from angelopietro[dot]com: The Start from One Restaurant. The story behind Angelo Pietro reads a bit like the Japanese version of our own American dream. A man with a big passion for Italian cuisine, Pietro Founder Kunihiko Murata followed his heart and opened a small Italian pasta restaurant in 1980 in his hometown of Fukuoka, in south-western Japan. He quickly learned that Japanese food lovers shared his passion for the flavors of Italy. One restaurant became two, then four, and within a few years, Murata was running a successful chain of over 60 Angelo Pietro restaurants throughout Japan. The hugely popular Angelo Pietro salad dressings began as a humble sideline to the pasta business. "We cook our pastas to order and that takes about 10 minutes," said Mr. Murata. "To keep our patrons happy, we created the idea of an Italian vinaigrette with Japanese flavors to accompany a small salad and vegetables as a start. Customers loved it, but most importantly, children loved it." As the story goes, parents noticed that children would eat their salads and vegetables - but only with Pietro's special dressing. After repeated requests from parents for dressing to take home to families, Mr. Murata began filling his empty wine bottles with salad dressing. He soon realized that he had a hit on his hands, something that would eventually become an even bigger success than his original restaurant concept. From these modest beginnings, Pietro Dressings have now become the best-selling soy dressings in Japan with more than 17 million bottles of dressing produced and sold each year. "And I give full credit to the children of Japan, who served as our inspiration, said Murata. I sincerely hope that American families have the same experience!"

I’ve been buying from this company for more than 10+ years and nobody can beat this dressing. You can marinate fish, put it on fruit, salads. So versatile.

If you like Japanese flavor, you'll love this. I enjoy this brand very much.

I prefer Annie's but the price is higher so I'll probably stay with this or make a large batch of homemade dressing when I'm not so busy.

It lives up to the hype. I shave my cabbage into angel hair pieces. And with this dressing, I can eat that cabbage non stop - it’s like crack.

Easy to use and says what it does. I highly recommend it.

I thought this just had an updated packaging but what I got was a made in the USA and does not taste like the original ones made in Japan. So disappointed! The originals are so good but these are totally different and tastes very average. Too much sugar and there’s just something off about the vinegar too.
