Back home, in Murrells Inlet, South Carolina we have a Japanese Steakhouse that is awesome. The food is by far the best I’ve had at any Japanese Steakhouse and they have an early bird special that can’t be beat. What I didn’t realize about this place, until I moved, was that it had the BEST mayo sauce for the shrimp and fried rice. Other places have a mayo sauce that is bland or they put ginger in it. Blech. I wanted that mayo sauce and I wanted it bad.
I happened upon a website and totally realized, “Wait! I can try to make it myself!” I have no idea why I didn’t think I could do this before. There had to be a recipe out there that I could start from. So, I started with this recipe and pretty much hit the nail on the head. Granted, I’ll have to fly back home to do a taste test, but it comes close enough to satisfy my urgings. I know myself, and a lot of my friends, are going to be very happy when they find out they can make up their own batch now too!

This sauce looks awesome. We keep taking about going to the new Japanese Steak House that just opened by our house, but now why should we, I can make it at home. Thanks!!!!

I am not a huge fan of mayo, but I really enjoy Japanese mayo. Love that you made it at home!
June 28, 2012 at 2:35 am
I can’t believe there’s finally a recipe for this! I love this sauce! I love pouring this stuff on okonomiyaki! Thanks so much for the recipe 🙂

What is the name of the Japanese Steakhouse? We go to Murrells inlet every year. Would like to try a new place.
September 22, 2012 at 10:18 pm
Miyabi’s on 17 across from Waccamaw Hospital. If you can go for early bird you can get a great deal!
March 10, 2013 at 2:31 pm
I live in Myrtle Beach, and Miyabi’s is my favorite. I love their mayo sauce. How close do you think this sauce is to theirs?
October 23, 2013 at 8:59 am
Jimmyz hibachi is much better and a whole lot easier on the wallet!!
July 13, 2013 at 2:52 pm
I just moved to Myrtle Beach but we’ve been visiting for 15 years. Love Miyabi–the best hibachi on the beach. I’ll be making this sauce!
January 23, 2017 at 4:20 pm
IMO Kobe Express in Surfside taste better(and is cheaper!)
March 1, 2020 at 7:41 pm
We are here right now!!!!!
September 28, 2012 at 3:42 pm
I live in Georgetown, SC and we go there all the time!!! I love that place!!
September 28, 2012 at 3:46 pm
I miss it so much! I’ll be there this time next year though and can’t wait!
November 3, 2012 at 10:52 pm
This sauce is amazing. I’ve tried it at Myabi’s and Yokoso but in Charleston. I’ve moved to California and nothing tops it. I cannot find it anywhere. I went to this Japanese restaurant and I asked for a “white sauce” (that’s what they call it at Yokoso) and they didn’t know what I was talking about. They gave me something similar but it didn’t taste the same nor as good. So thank you for the recipe, I sure will try this out.
February 17, 2015 at 3:53 pm
Dude you are in CA! you should go to Sushiya. Their food is great! I recommend trying the snowball crab sushi roll.
November 5, 2012 at 12:36 am
They have the best sushi too! I moved away 4 years ago and can’t find a restaurant that even comes close to them! I miss chef Ken
November 5, 2012 at 8:43 am
I miss that place so much! The guys were great. I worked in the ER across the street and a guy came over for a cut and left and said he was going back to work all bandaged. We thought he was crazy, but hey dedication!

I live in savannah and we have a miyabi’s! Love that place! What brand of mayo did you use? I’m funny about mayo…
November 24, 2012 at 11:27 am
Love Savannah! I used Hellman’s. If I were back home I’d probably use Dukes.
December 4, 2012 at 1:22 pm
Love this sauce too! I’m wondering if the base they use is actual Japanese mayo which is smoother than American mayo brands and has it’s own unique taste. The popular brand is Kewpie and it has a creepy baby doll on the bottle haha. It’s really easy to get out here in CA, not sure if you have an Asian market near you but I’m pretty sure they sell it on Amazon. Might be worth a try to see if it gets your recipe even closer to the original 🙂
December 4, 2012 at 1:31 pm
Good to know! I beat they use whatever is cheaper in large quantities 🙂 I will definitely give it a try though and see if it tastes better.
December 1, 2015 at 4:37 am
My kids love this kind of food and always had to go about 50 miles to have it. I started to work to make yum yum and ginger sauces. It took a few tries but I finally got it right. Your recipe is close to mine. For best results use only Hellman’s mayo and do let sauces sit overnight in fridge. Good luck. Robert.
February 24, 2013 at 7:51 am
How long will the sauce last in ref.
February 24, 2013 at 8:20 am
It doesn’t last long in my house, but should last as long as the mayonnaise itself.
February 27, 2013 at 9:15 am
We have Miyabis in Columbia SC and they call it white sauce. We love it on everything!!!
March 8, 2013 at 1:37 pm
How do u make this dish that has the sauce on it?
March 11, 2013 at 10:16 pm
I manage a Japanese steakhouse and we put a lot more in our sauce than this.
March 12, 2013 at 8:31 am
Well then, care to share? I found these to be the simplest ingredients to achieve the same taste I was familiar with.
January 23, 2015 at 6:48 pm
nicole, ive been trying for “YEARS” to make the japanese white sauce. ive spent a small fortune truing just about every recipe on the net that i could google…. if u feel “giving” to a hard trying cook would u please consider sharing ur recipe….a nice reward to u will follow. my email is sly4562@mediastreamus.net thanks, steve
April 17, 2013 at 5:09 pm
I’m from North Myrtle Beach 🙂 I also add ginger powder (add to taste) We compared it to the Miyabi’s white sauce in Myrtle Beach and it seemed to bring it closest to the theirs! 🙂
May 6, 2013 at 10:36 am
I do know that their recipe is very simple. They do use the heavy mayo for it that you would buy from a restaurant supply. I will have to find where I put the recipe that was given to me by the at the time head chef there. I never made it because it was given to me as the way they make it, VERY LARGE QUANTITIES! I never broke it down in a size I could make. I will have to look it up or see if I can get back up with that chef. I also have the hot sauce as well. Both are very good there.
November 28, 2013 at 10:27 pm
Hi Glenn:
Were you able to find the recipe that was given to you? If so, we’d love to hear what it is.
🙂
November 14, 2014 at 3:30 am
Hi Glen,
Just wondering if you’ve been able to find the recipe? Thanks
November 14, 2014 at 3:26 pm
no haven’t found the recipe yet, we had some turmoil in the family and my family cheif moved to Texas and isn’t returning my calls. still looking though!
June 10, 2013 at 10:16 am
Mayo, sugar, paprika, salt, butter and rice vinegar.
It’s yum yum sauce. Or shrimp sauce.
July 30, 2013 at 4:54 pm
I am so glad to have found this! I just moved to florida from Bristol, VA and there was a Japanese place called Kobes there and I would drown my food in that sauce but most places don’t have that. Cant wait to try it!!
August 15, 2013 at 1:22 pm
I love mayonnaise on just about anything; but it has to be mayo, not that yucky salad dressing!
This is awesome, can’t wait to try it on shrimp fried rice tonight.
I think it’s great that we can make this without adding any extra salt.
Thank you!
November 21, 2013 at 2:23 pm
I happened to have some leftover white sauce from Miyabis and was able to try this side by side. Not only does your recipe taste almost exactly like the sauce from the restaurant, it’s better!!! (Which is why I said ‘almost’). We had some extra after we used this for a ‘make at home Miyabis’ night and I was searching the fridge and pantry for anything I could dip in it! It. Is. So. Good. Kudos and thank you!!!
November 21, 2013 at 3:49 pm
That is great to hear! We were down that way in the spring but couldn’t get to Miyabi’s. I was pretty sad!
February 15, 2014 at 11:05 am
I’ve been googling for yum yum sauce (apparently that’s really a common name for it!) and white sauce or shrimp sauce (what our Japanese steak house calls it) and am so happy to see so many recipes.
I did want to note that our chef said there was no dairy in the sauce, so those who are allergic to dairy can still make this sauce if you look for other recipes (I found a lot online that don’t use melted butter, other than yours that seems to be based on http://www.japanese-steakhouse-white-sauce.com). I think the melted butter might make the consistency change in the fridge too, whereas the recipes without it would stay more pourable? Most of the others used ketchup instead of tomato paste but the spices were pretty similar.
Three of my kids are allergic to dairy and loved the sauce on their salads at Tokyo Grill (they use it as a salad dressing too there), and they said it was the first nondairy dressing they liked. I also made a quick copycat at home with just mayo, french dressing and a drizzle of water that tasted surprisingly close. 🙂
Just tossing all that out there for others who may have food sensitivities to work around!
March 4, 2014 at 7:30 pm
I just finished up my mayo tonight from my take home package. I live around the corner from Miyabi’s in Murrells Inlet, so I will try your sauce and let you know how it compares to the real deal!
March 4, 2014 at 8:18 pm
Hope you like it! I miss MI! Saw a lot of photos from the ice storm with all of the poor live oaks damaged :/
March 10, 2014 at 10:11 am
I live in Charleston, SC. We have a Miyabi’s in Charleston also. I have eat at the one in Murrells Inet since my fiance family are all from there. Ever since I can remember I loved Miyabi’s. It’s my favorite hibachi restaurant. We go here for all the birthdays in our family. It’s called white sauce. I ask for all white every time I go. This has to be the best white sauce. There is a little hibachi express picking up in charleston I go there to get take out for my family and they have white sauce that taste just like Miyabi’s. Tsunami in Charleston also has the same tasting white sauce.
September 11, 2014 at 10:11 am
I also live in Charleston, SC. I say the same thing about Tsunami white sauce it taste exactly like miyabi’s white sauce. Its my favorite tasting white sauce! I always ask for all white when I go to miyabi ‘s. There is always a small Japanese take out on James island which is a small town in the heart of charleston that has the best take out hibachi I ever had plus the white sauce taste just like miyabi’s!
Can’t wait to try this recipe out!
June 24, 2014 at 8:32 am
I live in Myrtle Beach and we love Miyabis… they actually just opened a Miyabis Jr in the same complex as the Surfside Walmart and it tastes identical and is a whole lot cheaper!
August 6, 2014 at 2:07 pm
This was so amazing. What a great recipe 🙂
October 3, 2014 at 3:40 pm
I have several customers who love this sauce and we have made a few variations that are all hits.
Kewpie brand mayo is much smoother than good ole AMERICAN mayo but hard to find outside of Asian markets. To get great results go 3/4 cups mayo to 1/4 cup regular or lite sour cream and replace the sugar with one packet or 1/2 tsp of splenda.
We also will add horseradish (to taste) which gives this a little kick and makes this a great dip for steak or a great spread for roast beef roast beef sandwiches. ( are you listening Arby’s) Changes the texture a bit but no one seems to care. I recently had a gentleman tell me that this stuff was soooo good that he ate it on spoons and human fingers. (his own of course but I’m sure it would be good on the finger of your significant other as well)
Bon Appetite!!

Went to Miyabis recently because my favorite place to eat. Ask for white sauce (which I remembered as being white) but was served the pink sauce and was told this is
white sauce. Am I just forgetful or color blind?
November 11, 2014 at 8:41 pm
It’s always been slightly pink, just like the image of mine. They call it white sauce because it’s mayo based.I’m so jealous though, I really miss that place!
January 2, 2015 at 7:13 pm
I used a tablespoon of brown sugar because I ran out of plain sugar and didn’t realize it until I already had everything together. Haha. Its amazing.. Never thought in a million years it would be good, but it was.
August 26, 2015 at 4:54 am
The only thing missing from ur recipe is lemon juice. ..
September 21, 2016 at 1:17 am
nootle sauce
December 27, 2017 at 10:32 pm
now if I can just get the recipe for there salad dressing ginger and soup ill have it made
April 13, 2019 at 2:27 am
I love this recipe and I make it every time I make chicken or shrimp fried rice. The only difference is, I add some sriracha sauce to it for a little more kick.
July 26, 2019 at 4:14 pm
I moved from Lumberton about 4 years ago and miss the Miyabi in Fayetteville & MB sooo much! I always stockpile the sauce from the Miyabi Jr in Lumberton when I go home to visit my folks. Excited to try this at home! It’s the only thing my homemade hibachi dinner recipe is missing! Thanks!
April 25, 2024 at 6:38 pm
I see comments asking to share the recipe… when it’s literally right here on the same page. Good recipe too
