Teriyaki sauce
Teriyaki sauce is built on fermented soy sauce and often includes wine or mirin — layering multiple high-histamine ingredients.
Teriyaki sauce is essentially a combination of some of the highest-histamine condiment ingredients, making it one to be aware of.
-
Soy sauce base — the foundation is fermented soy sauce, which already carries significant histamine from months of brewing
-
Added wine or mirin — many recipes also include sake, mirin, or rice wine; alcohol in general is well-established as a concern for histamine clearance, though mirin is very low in alcohol and its specific effect is less clear
Homemade versions using coconut aminos as the base are something many people explore as a lower-histamine alternative.
