About Yondu

We believe that good food starts at home, where simple meals can taste just as delicious as elaborate restaurant dishes. We wanted to create a plant-rich umami sauce that tastes amazing while being versatile and simple enough to use for everyday dishes. Yondu is an award-winning, high-impact pantry sauce that adds rich umami, complexity, and depth of flavor to dishes with only a few teaspoons--giving us the ease and confidence to cook at home more often! We wanted to create big flavors without relying on animal products. Instead, we spent over 10 years crafting Yondu from a combination of the simple vegetables we eat every day. Yondu is created by Sempio Foods, a 3rd-generation family-owned company that's been brewing & fermenting traditional Korean condiments since 1946. Read their story
