Soy Vay Teriyaki Party Pack, Veri Veri 21 oz & Island 20 oz

Soy Vay came out of Northern California in the 1980s, built on a Chinese and Jewish pairing of pantries that gave the brand both its name and its house style. This pack puts the original bottle next to its tropical counterpart, which is the easiest way to learn which one your kitchen actually reaches for.

Veri Veri Teriyaki is the one that made the brand: thicker than a pouring teriyaki, flecked with toasted sesame seeds you can see suspended in the bottle, and gingery enough to stand on its own as a marinade, a stir-fry sauce, or a dip for dumplings. Island Teriyaki runs sweeter and fruitier, leaning on pineapple, and it suits pork, shrimp, chicken thighs, and salmon headed for a grill.

Both work as an overnight marinade or a finishing glaze brushed on in the last minutes of cooking. Two bottles is a sensible quantity for a household that marinates on a weeknight.
