This Hentai Hot Sauce Was Invented as an Aphrodisiac | Esquire

If you’ve ever found yourself in the classic position where you want to spice up your tacos but also make sure your blood is flowing for a long night of love-making, then today is your day. This week, adult gaming platform Nutaku released the first-ever Hentai Hot Sauce. There’s a lot to unpack in that sentence, but for now, let’s stick with the hot sauce.

Named after manga-inspired pornography from Japan, Hentai Hot Sauce is made with shallots, garlic, oak pellets, and some seriously hot peppers. But the key ingredient is actually capsaicin, an aphrodisiac commonly found in chili peppers. Capsaicin is said to increase your metabolism and up your circulation—a.k.a., get that blood pumping for whatever activities you may have planned for the future. In the case of most aphrodisiacs, that means sex. But that could also mean gaming. No, seriously. The hot sauce was created to pair perfectly with what Nutaku does best.

“This sauce is incredibly unique, developed to enhance the overall gaming experience through the effects of capsaicin,” said Julie Hall, communications manager at Nutaku. “By increasing blood circulation and stimulating the nerve endings, gamers can expect a more intense and vivid gaming experience.”

Now, to break down this Nutaku business: In 2015, Nutaku was launched to build the largest free-to-play library for adult gaming, including titles with your typical gaming elements alongside some seriously adult content. That information should make the hot sauce’s hentai-tentacle-gamer-porn connection make a bit more sense.

If you really want to take it to the next level, get yourself a bottle of the sauce, order in some calamari, and make the whole thing as meta as possible. Because if you like to eat squid while playing your tentacle porn game, why not top it off with some official Hentai Hot Sauce?
