Kagome USA, Inc.

Kagome has a long history with tomatoes - dating back to when Ichitaro Kanie first brought tomatoes to Japan in 1899. For more than 100 years, Kagome has studied this fascinating fruit and become an expert in the growing and processing of tomato-based products. Today, out of Los Banos, CA, Kagome produces customized, tomato-based sauces for some of the world’s largest restaurant chains.

Pizza Sauce

Made from vine-ripened red tomatoes, fresh herbs, and authentic Italian spices. Kagome can produce both chunky and smooth pizza sauces. Depending on your need, Kagome can also develop your sauce to be fully-prepared (ready-to-use), or concentrated.

Marinara Sauce

A staple in many countries around the world, noodles span the globe from Japan to Germany, from Italy to Thailand. Kagome understands that noodles provide a backdrop for fantastic flavor, and that sometimes means a simple pomodoro or a bold puttanesca sauce. Let us guide you in creating the perfect pasta sauce for your next dish!

Barbeque Sauce

Smoky-sweet, and a little tangy, BBQ sauces are a classic accompaniment to chicken, steak, and pork. Whether you’re looking for something a little off the beaten track (i.e. Whiskey BBQ), or something signature (i.e. Chef Bubba’s BBQ), Kagome can develop it for you.

Salsa

No longer just Hispanic, salsa is becoming an ubiquitous catch phrase for a mix of chopped/ diced/ crushed ingredients from herbs and spices, to fruits and peppers. Kagome can create the salsa that you’re looking for - spicy, to sweet, to tangy, to everything in between.

Enchilada Sauce

Whether tomato or tomatillo, chunky or smooth, Kagome has the experience developing and manufacturing a variety of enchilada sauces. Our R&D chefs understand that functionality is just as important as flavor and color when it comes to enchilada sauce.

Cocktail Sauce

While many chefs can argue the intricacies of a good cocktail sauce, a few key attributes are well known: bright red color, a little sweet, a little tangy, and a well rounded horseradish heat that has staying power. Our R&D chefs are available to fine-tune your cocktail sauce until it is just right!
