About Us

Our story begins when Ogi arrived in sunny California as an international student, chasing a dream that seemed distant but full of possibilities. She started humbly, working at a restaurant, bussing tables, and serving delicious dishes. But beneath it all, Ogi had bigger dreams—saucier dreams!

Driven by her passion and perseverance, Ogi explored every possible path to achieve her vision. She went to culinary school to master the art of cooking, business school to sharpen her entrepreneurial skills, and even law school to understand the complexities of building her dream. All the while, she balanced her responsibilities to her family, determined to create something meaningful.

After years of hard work and dedication, Ogi took a bold step and purchased the very restaurant where her journey began. Why? Because she envisioned something extraordinary—a fusion of culinary mastery and business savvy, a place where great food and great ideas would come together.

The restaurant already had a few signature recipes that customers loved. But Ogi saw room for improvement. She took these beloved dishes and elevated them—experimenting, refining, and bringing her own touch to every flavor. Among these recipes was a sauce that quickly became a customer favorite. Yet Ogi, always striving for more, knew she could make it even better. She tinkered, tasted, and perfected it until it became something truly irresistible.

Then came a moment of realization: customers began asking if they could take the sauce home.

That’s when Ogi knew she had something special. With determination, she decided to bottle up the magic, and thus, Aji Mori Sauces was born. What started as an enhancement to a beloved recipe turned into a sensation, with customers taking it to their family dinners, parties, and beyond. Aji Mori became the secret ingredient to a world of delicious possibilities.

Ogi’s journey is one of resilience, creativity, and an unwavering commitment to her dreams. Through every challenge, she forged ahead, improving on the old and creating something entirely new. Now, Aji Mori Sauces isn’t just a product—it’s a testament to the power of persistence and passion.

She and her family truly believe and hope that every family can experience the joy of trying her sauce and making it part of their own culinary adventures.
