Almost roar consuming last drop of spicy sauce (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

shoyu

'sauce' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'almost roar consuming last drop of spicy' is the wordplay.
'almost' means to remove the last letter (almost the whole word is kept).
'roar' becomes 'shout'.
'consuming' is an insertion indicator.
'last drop of' suggests the final letters.
The last letter of 'spicy' is 'y'.
'shout' with its last letter removed is 'shou'.
'shou' going around 'y' is 'SHOYU'.

(Another definition for shoyu that I've seen is " Sauce".)
