ABOUT
SUMO SPICE
We made Sumo Spice healthy chili crisp with avocado oil, no seed oils, and no added sugar, salt, soy or MSG. We created it for people who want bold flavor, crispy texture, and better ingredients in one spoonable jar. Inspired by the big flavors of Asia and built for everyday meals, Sumo Spice turns eggs, rice bowls, noodles, dumplings, tacos, pizza, vegetables, and leftovers into something worth craving.
Why We Created Sumo Spice
Hi! We’re Nathan and Ashan, the duo behind Sumo Spice.
Our love for bold food grew through living and traveling across Asia, where the best meals were never just about eating. They were about energy, connection, late-night markets, tiny restaurants, shared plates, and flavors that made simple food unforgettable.
We loved the magic of chili crisp: the rich oil, the crispy aromatics, the heat, the crunch, the way one spoonful could transform a meal. But when we started looking closer at many chili crisps on the shelf, we saw ingredients we did not love: seed oils, added sugar, high sodium, and unnecessary additives.
So we made our own.
Sumo Spice was created to bring big chili crisp flavor to everyday food using ingredients we feel good about putting on our own table.
How Sumo Spice Is Different
Sumo Spice is built around a simple idea: better ingredients should still taste wildly good.
Every jar is made with avocado oil instead of seed oils. We skip added sugar and added salt. We left out soy and MSG. And we build flavor with chilies, garlic, sesame, spices, aromatics, and crunchy texture.
The result is a better-for-you chili crisp that still brings the fire, crunch, and savory depth people crave.
Made with Avocado Oil, Not Seed Oils
Most chili crisp gets its rich texture from oil, so the oil matters. That is why Sumo Spice is made with avocado oil instead of seed oils like soybean, canola, sunflower, or generic vegetable oil.
Avocado oil gives Sumo Spice a smooth, rich base that lets the chilies, garlic, spices, and crunch shine.
Big Flavor for Everyday Food
Sumo Spice is not a special-occasion condiment. It is an everyday flavor weapon.
Spoon it over eggs in the morning. Stir it into rice or noodles at lunch. Drizzle it on dumplings, tacos, pizza, roasted vegetables, grilled chicken, tofu, soups, salads, or leftovers that need a second life.
One jar. Endless tiny food upgrades.
Four Flavors, Four Ways to Bring the Crunch
Ginza Garlic is mild, savory, and packed with roasted garlic flavor.
Fuji Fire is our hottest chili crisp, made for people who want more heat.
Kyoto Curry brings warm, aromatic curry-inspired spice.
Tokyo Twist is bright, tangy, citrusy, and spicy with yuzu and lime flavor.
Start with one flavor or try the full lineup with a variety pack.
Our Commitment to Better Packaging
We care about what goes inside the jar and what the jar leaves behind. Sumo Spice comes in recyclable glass jars with 100% bamboo lids because we wanted packaging that felt more thoughtful than another plastic shortcut.
We are not perfect, but we are committed to getting better with every batch.
Live Your Best Spice
At Sumo Spice, we believe food should make everyday life more memorable. A normal bowl of rice can become dinner worth talking about. Leftovers can get a comeback arc. Eggs can become the best thing you eat all day.
That is the spirit behind Live Your Best Spice: eat boldly, share generously, and never settle for bland.
