Pietro Japanese Ginger Dressing, Marinade & Vinaigrette – No MSG, Gluten Free Asian Salad Dressing for Vegetables, Seafood, Rice & Grain Bowls - 9.3 oz

I was skeptical that this was actually going to be good, but I was very pleasantly surprised! It tastes very much like the dressing that I get at the teppanyaki restaurant that I frequent! So great to finally have that flavor available for my everyday salad. Highly recommended!

When I say this will become your entire family's favorite dressing, I mean it. I've never been an entree/big salad type, but shortly after the pandemic began, it seemed like the perfect time for me to focus on eating a bit healthier. I began eating a variety of fish along with a salad for most of my evening meals. Because I preferred the taste, I stuck mainly to one make of dressings 90+% of the time: "Masako" (Ginger, Honey Ginger & Wasabi) and bought them in bulk so I wouldn't run out. I don't know what item I was searching when I landed upon this Sesame and Miso dressing, but oh, my goodness, am I happy I did. I'm even more pleased that I decided to take a chance and order the Sesame and Miso. It is the best, the ABSOLUTE BEST, salad dressing I have ever eaten, and I mean that quite literally. I never imagined the best-of-the-best blue cheese dressing would ever become #2 to any oil/vinegar Asian-inspired dressing I thought it was so, so incredible that I sent a bottle to each of my adult children. It is now the only dressing used in all of our homes. I haven't used it for a marinade, but it would be excellent with a mild white fish like tilapia, sea bass, and cod. I cannot speak to the other flavors as I have not tried them, but the Sesame & Miso is EXCELLENT. I would describe it has Asian-inspired with a mild "kick" -- definitely mild enough to be suitable for children. It's not like any Asian flavored-type dressing I've ever eaten, though, and hard to describe. It has the perfect balance/ratio of oil to vinegar (canola oil : rice vinegar). I can eat this for all 14 of my lunch & evening meals. It really is that good. It's quite literally the PERFECT SALAD DRESSING. Having this dressing in my fridge actually makes me WANT to eat an entree salad. I usually buy a romaine-based bagged salad and a separate bag of a 3-type blend of all shredded cabbage (green, purple, & white), and use 2:1 cabbage to romaine. It's this dressing that makes eating a majority cabbage salad a delight! For those who take their dressing to the office for lunch, this dressing comes in a bottle with a top cover that securely pops/clicks on with a smaller screw-on top underneath making it nearly impossible to spill, regardless of how the bottle gets bumped around and squeezed. In fact, I carry this in my luggage on all of my trips as a flight attendant and have never had so much as a drop leak out! To say I love this dressing would be an understatement. I live alone, and excluding the orders I sent to my adult children, I have ordered the sesame & miso dressing 8 times in the last 7 weeks, and I just ordered my 9th bottle just prior to this review. Although I would like to at some point in the future, I have not yet tried the three other flavors. I think the reason I haven't ordered one of them is because I can't believe any other dressing would be able to top the Sesame and Miso. This salad dressing is the equivalent of a spectacular Grand Cru Bordeaux but at a much more reasonable price! If you're on the fence about ordering, I suggest giving it a go and trying one bottle -- that's what I did, and I am so very pleased I did!**Update**When I wrote my original review, I had only tried the " Sesame Miso" flavor. I've since purchased one bottle of the "Original Flavor". I have to say that the Original Flavor was terribly disappointing after a dozen or so bottles of the Sesame & Miso flavor. The Original has such a mild flavor; I found it quite bland, actually. After my first use, it was so bland, that I thought I may not have shaken the bottle enough before using. I made sure to vigorously shake the bottle the next two times, and it was the same. I will NOT be purchasing the Original Flavor, again. I'm still in love with the Sesame & Miso, and it will remain stocked in my fridge. While the flavor of the Sesame & Miso is hard to fully explain the taste explosion going on in my mouth, I CAN say that I've turned 5 other people on to it so far. They've all been blown away by it. Two of those five were recently at my home for an evening meal and prior to coming actually asked if I would be serving a salad and, if so, was I planning to offer the Sesame & Miso as a dressing option --addding, that they'd be happy to bring a bottle if I was out of it. (Yes, we're close enough for them to ask this!!). I can't think of a better endorsement than that! I think the Sesame & Miso dressing is so special, that I'm thinking of adding it to every adult's Christmas present, including work colleagues!! This dressing is one if those rare things that after experiencing it, you want everyone in your life to experience it, as well. One day, I'll get around to trying the Ginger and the Lemon, and when I do, I'll come back and give an update AGAIN!! Until then, I'll be enjoying bottle after bottle of the wonderful Sesame & Miso!!

Works as intended. A little pricey in my opinion but good.

Only takes a little to get the full taste

I've been eating lots of salads lately and running through the gamut of prepared, mixed and from scratch dressings. This one was interesting, subtle, and unlike others I've bought. Yes, I'd buy it again.

It's a cruel world for those with gluten sensitivity n allergy issues! Thank goodness, it's getting better every day, thanks to products like these. (I also tried the ginger dressing and it was really good too. I like to combine the two). I've used it to marinade steak n it was fabulous. A little goes a long way.

It is challenging to find asian salad dressings that are gluten free. This one is exceptional. I used it at a dinner party and everyone loved it.

Reminds me of the dressings we enjoyed in Japan.
