In early 2019 I asked my partner German to find the BEST BBQ sauce in the US. After all, the best meat deserves ONLY the best sauce... that set him on an adventure where he ended up trying over 100 different BBQ sauces of all kinds, from broad-liners to craft. Somehow and somewhere, he found Bachan's.
All it took was a bit of Bachan's to fall in love. Since then, we have tried it on everything... beef, chicken, fish, even popcorn!
While it is definitely NOT a traditional BBQ sauce (its more like a BBQish teriyaki), we still decided that this was the best BBQ sauce in the market. We were extremely dissapointed when we reached out to Justin (Mr Bachan's himself) to learn that he had simply no way of distributing the sauce across the country... his distribution network was small.
We didn't give up, we emailed Justin on a bi-weekly basis for 8 months until he finally told us he was ready to ship across the nation.
So check-out Bachan's and let us (and him) know if you like it as much as we do!
Also available in Yuzu Japanese BBQ Sauce and Spicy Japanese BBQ Sauce.
Warning: Consumption of this sauce may cause addiction.
The Bachan's Story
For as long as I can remember, my Bachan—you might say Granny—would cook up the most amazing meals with our umami–filled, teriyaki-ish sauce! The recipe has been passed down and perfected over generations and today, my family and I are honored to share our authentic Japanese Barbecue Sauce with you.
To stay true to the original recipe, we cold-fill our sauce—which eliminates any need for additives, preservatives, or flavorings. Our crave-worthy flavor comes naturally from delicious, clean ingredients. Let’s eat! Itadakimasu!
Sunset Magazine chose Bachan's as the BEST Teriyaki sauce. (https://www.sunset.com/food-wine/the-pantry/pantry-awards)
