How to Serve these Sushi Sauce Recipes

I like to serve these sauces in two ways:

Squeeze bottles

They are easily available and you can drizzle sauce on Sushi rolls smoothly.

Pastry bags

If you dont have squeeze bottles you can use pastry bags to drizzle sauce on Sushi rolls. Just cut the tip and drizzle.
