Our Story
Fueled by our passion for savory foods and Jiu-Jutsu, we at Tapped created a unique blend of flavor-packed sauces that mimics the experience of practicing the martial art itself. From the Arm bar to D’arce choke, each of our sauces feature a unique experience akin to being submitted. We want to challenge people to a Jiu-Jutsu-like match where they can either be tapped by the sauce or tap out the sauce, hence the name “Tapped”.
We believe that umami, a Japanese word meaning “essence of deliciousness”, is the key to a more delicious and mouthwatering meal. Unlike other hot sauce labels, we don’t intend to tap people out with extreme heat but with umami! The current hot sauce market is already saturated by sauces that only seem to focus on the Scoville heat unit. However, we at Tapped believe that sauces are not just supposed to be about the heat but it also has to be about the flavor; just how Jiu-Jutsu doesn’t focus on brute strength alone but more so on precise techniques. Using ingredients such as tomatoes, mushrooms, seaweed, and spices, we provide a natural way of adding this wonderful taste to your meals, while shying away from artificial additives.
We hope that you experience the thrill and joy of Jiu-Jutsu with each tap of our bottles. Are you up for the challenge? Tap us out or be tapped!
