Lee Kum Kee, the globally renowned producer of authentic Asian sauces and condiments, has announced an exciting partnership with Uncle Sharkii Poke Bar, a beloved quick-service restaurant known for its fresh and flavorful Hawaiian-inspired poke bowls. This collaboration introduces Lee Kum Kee’s famous Teriyaki Glaze to Uncle Sharkii’s menu, starting with the all-new Chicken Teriyaki Poke Bowl. The savory-sweet glaze will also become a permanent menu feature, allowing customers to customize other poke bowl creations with its rich, mouthwatering flavor.

"We are thrilled to collaborate with Uncle Sharkii to showcase our Teriyaki Glaze," said Grace Chow, VP of Mainstream Foodservice and Industrial Sales for Lee Kum Kee (USA). "Its bold flavor complements the fresh ingredients in poke bowls, offering customers a uniquely satisfying dining experience."

The History Behind the Flavor

Teriyaki, brought to Hawaii by Japanese immigrants in the 19th century, has become a culinary staple. Its name combines “teri” (referring to the glaze's shine) and “yaki” (meaning grill). Lee Kum Kee’s Teriyaki Glaze is crafted with soy sauce, mirin, sugar, and a blend of seasonings, delivering a rich and versatile flavor perfect for marinating, grilling, or dipping.

Quynh Vu, Marketing Director for Uncle Sharkii, emphasized the synergy between the two brands: "Teriyaki Glaze adds a familiar and beloved taste to our menu, elevating our offerings and answering the requests of our loyal patrons."
