It’s well done branding and label presentation. And the fresh chilies presented in the ribbon really help them jump out on first look. I really love how Bravado Spice Company ties in a heat level gauge with the fire icons at the bottom of the label. But the styling of the bottle by Bravado Spice Company is just so beautiful in its simplicity - it’s hard to ignore on a shelf. Really, Aka Miso Ghost-Reaper is in rarified air there. The flavor and heat balance alone should make this a collection staple for any hot sauce connoisseur. In fact, the umami is such a delicious flavor, you’ll often get the best of this sauce with just a little dilution into a base. It works very well then as a spicy dip for potato chips, fries, chicken tenders, and so much more. I mixed this into my ketchup and barbecue sauces. You can also cut this hot sauce with many condiments to curb the spiciness and provide unique flavor twists. The dilution into the water base calms the heat some, but still provides a delicious level of spiciness and umami. Just be prepared for the different take on heat (wasabi provides a punch differently than chili peppers) and how much hotter it’ll be.Īka Miso Ghost-Reaper is also a fantastic addition to soups, particularly ramen and other more exotic dishes. You’ll reach for Aka Miso Ghost-Reaper eagerly and often. If you’re looking for an alternative to wasabi for that next sushi meal, look no further. It’s really delicious with ahi tuna and sushi.

So can you use a sauce this spicy? Maybe not as a daily driver (for most), but in certain instances, you’ll be grabbing for Aka Miso Ghost-Reaper more often than you may think. Bravado Spice Company totally walks the talk of listing those peppers on the label. What’s best about Aka Miso Ghost-Reaper is just how well-balanced this crazy natural heat is with the unique umami flavor. You’ll feel the burn for a good five to ten minutes after eating it. The heat moves quickly from your lips to the tip of your tongue and then makes its way to the back of your throat. One SHU that’s thrown around for Aka Miso Ghost-Reaper is 116,000, and that seems about right - maybe even a bit more. It’s around habanero-level heat for me (100,000 to 350,000 SHU). But it still packs big heat, especially for a hot sauce with zero extracts.
Of course, Aka Miso Ghost-Reaper won’t have the heat of these fresh chilies, being diluted with so many tasty ingredients. Compare that to jalapeños - (2,500 to 8,000 SHU) and you see these are some mega-hot bad boys in this hot sauce. And Carolina Reapers dwarf even that, ranging from 1,400,000 to 2,200,000 SHU. Ghost peppers range from 855,000 Scoville heat units to 1,041,427 SHU. These are two well-known super-hot chilies in the mix. And Aka Miso Ghost-Reaper definitely does. When you call your shot on the label - naming those super-hot peppers for all to see - you better deliver on heat. Aka Miso Ghost-Reaper Hot Sauce by Bravado Spice Company, on a spoon Heat Balance
Still - for those monitoring sodium, keep it in mind. And this sauce is so spicy, you aren’t likely using a lot in any one sitting. But frankly, it’s the amount of sodium you need to blend in with so many delicious bold flavors here. This sauce does come in at 210 mg of sodium per teaspoon (9% of your daily allowance.). You get a delicious level of sweet and salty, smooth, and pungent with every single bite. And that’s quickly followed with the red miso and tamari, both with their umami flavor.
Soon after the immediate heat, the rice wine vinegar delivers an earthy sweetness to the tongue that truly pulls out the natural sweetness built into both super-hot peppers. It’s earthy, pungent, sweet, salty - truly a unique twist on flavor for a hot sauce. Though there’s a lot more to this sauce than just heat. The fresh chili peppers hit quick and hard on the first bite. Aka Miso Ghost-Reaper does just that: ghost pepper, Carolina Reaper, rice wine vinegar, aka miso (aka red miso), tamari, sesame oil, togarashi, and salt.īravado Spice Company calls this sauce an “umami bomb” and it totally is. You’ve got to love when a hot sauce starts its ingredients list with two of the most potent chili peppers on the planet.
