Wafu dressing (和風ドレッシング wafũ doresshingu ), literally "Japanese-style dressing" is a vinaigrette-type salad dressing based on soy sauce, popular in Japan.
The standard wafu dressing consists of a mixture of Japanese soy sauce, rice vinegar and vegetable oil. There are many variations flavoured with additional ingredients such as aonori, shiso, grated ginger, umeboshi puree, wasabi or citrus fruits such as yuzu. Those flavoured with sesame oil are often called chũka-fũ dressing (中華風ドレッシング ), meaning "Chinese style dressing".
The name Wafu also is a registered trademark of Mari's Foods for Japanese vinaigrettes.[1]
