Craving Sriracha. Substitutes? Hot sauce recommendations?

I love all hot sauces. Especially the sour varieties. Japan has tabasco covered. But Sriracha? I bought a small localized brand a couple of years back, too sweet, very different. :/

Any ideas? What other hot sauces should I try? Thank you!

* Love Chinese rayu too, which can be found in all Chinese specialty stores.

  1. Gyomu Super had 3 different brands the last time I went. Could be a good start.

    And there was at least one more for sure, but it’s not listed on their website. They also have Harissa, Sambal, Mala sauce, etc. if you like these. More complete list [here](https://www.gyomusuper.jp/product/list.php?gc_id=201).

    Costco has this: [https://mitok.info/?p=259611](https://mitok.info/?p=259611)

    Someone mentioned Kaldi: [https://www.kaldi.co.jp/ec/Facet?inputKeywordFacet=sriracha](https://www.kaldi.co.jp/ec/Facet?inputKeywordFacet=sriracha)

  2. This doesn’t answer your question about Sriracha, but the periperi hot sauce at Kaldi is really good.

  3. There’s a Sriracha vending machine in my neighborhood, so it shouldn’t be too difficult to find.

  4. Got a blender? Buy some chili peppers at any korean/thai/mexican store and you’re good to go.
