Tupat’s journey has taken him across the globe, but Hawaii has always been home in spirit. Immersed in the culture, cuisine, and sense of community, he found his true inspiration in the bold, balanced flavors of authentic poke. That inspiration became a mission: to share those flavors with his family—and eventually, the world—through Tupat’s signature Poke Sauce and, more recently, his uniquely crafted BBQ sauces.

Family has always been at the heart of Tupat’s story. As a father, he set out to create sauces his children could grow up enjoying—rooted in authenticity, quality, and tradition. His passion was shaped early on by his mother, a flight attendant for 43 years, who introduced him to global flavors by sharing meals from her travels. Those experiences sparked his love for exploration, cooking, and cultural connection.

Today, Tupat is more than a man—he’s a legend built on family, travel, and flavor. Every bottle reflects a lifetime of experiences, honoring where he’s been, who inspired him, and the aloha spirit that continues to guide everything he creates.
