What exactly is that "secret sauce" served at Japanese steakhouses?

Question

If any of you have been to Japanese steakhouse where they cook in front of you, they give you two different types of sauces. One ginger sauce and one "secret sauce." I dont know if thats what its called but that is what they call it at my steakhouse. Its sort of an orange color. I think anchovies might be an ingredient.

And please dont tell me that you think that it might be Thousand island dressing! Thanks

Answer 1

It would probably be more helpful if you gave us an idea of what it tastes like....but the fact that you insinuated it might look like Thousand Island Dressing, this sauce could actually be homemade T.O. dressing. There is a special Japanese mayonnaise that tastes fairly different from American brands, that have more of a "fresh" flavor (don't know how to describe it). It's sold in large tube pouch, has a red cap, and has a picture of a baby on it and it's sometimes translated into "Kewpie" on the shelf, as the baby looks like a Kewpie doll. They would then probably add in some ginger and relish, maybe some ketchup. Bonito flakes could be adding that fish flavour you describe.
