Bachans

The Original

Bold, fresh and filled with umami flavor.

Great as a sauce or marinade on meat, fish, veggies, rice & anything in-between.

Our Original Japanese Barbecue Sauce is everything. It’s teriyaki-ish. Umami-full. Rich, bold and so authentic, it should be notarized. It’s a deeply savory-sweet recipe of soy, mirin, ginger, garlic and green onion. It’s the one that started it all. The legend. The O.G. Our crave-worthy flavor always comes from simple, clean ingredients. Let's eat! Itadakimasu!
