About Umami Hottie

Umami Hottie is rooted in the idea that the best flavors don’t shout. They linger. Born in a San Francisco ramen kitchen, the brand began as a way to bring the care, balance, and intention of restaurant cooking into everyday life. Not as something precious or complicated, but as something you reach for without thinking. At its core, Umami Hottie is about depth over heat, restraint over excess, and flavor that earns its place on the table. Everything we make is designed to enhance what’s already there, not overpower it. We believe good food is a form of hospitality. The kind that feels warm, familiar, and quietly memorable. The kind you want to share. Umami Hottie exists to make everyday meals feel considered, comforting, and just a little more special.Read their story
