Answer:


If you are looking for this item specifically, it is a Japanese chilli oil made by a company called House. The item name is ホットチリ which is "Hot Chilli" written in the Japanese phonetic alphabet.

As mentioned already, chilli oil comes from Chinese cuisine, but is popularly used on Japanese foods and called Rāyu.

There are usually two different types of Rāyu, one like the photo you posted which is a clear oil, and another types which has a selection of chilli flakes in the bottle to infuse more flavour.

I think that any chilli oil will be suitable for jazzing up your spicy tuna rolls. Just pop into your local Asian food store if you have one nearby, otherwise you can find some online at places such as Amazon etc.

Hope this helps.
