Bachan's Reviews

4.6

Bachan’s earns strong reviews as a versatile, flavorful Japanese-style barbecue/teriyaki sauce that reliably elevates rice bowls, salmon, chicken, tofu, noodles, and more, with clean, simple ingredients and options like Original, Yuzu, Hot & Spicy, Honey Barbecue, and Gluten-Free. Reviews also flag drawbacks: the sauce skews sweet and notably thin/runny, some desire more heat in spicy versions, and packaging issues like clogged nozzles, pop-off lids, and plastic bottles detract from an otherwise widely loved staple.

    I got the regular japanese bbq suace. I like the flavor overall and I would say it's tasty. I don't always remember to put it on foods so there's that. I also don't care for the consistency, it was thinner than I thought it would be.

    This is an incredible brand of sauce, only negative would be that the lid pops off easily which lead to a recent meal of mine being ruined. Would love for this to be fixed!

    These sauces are amazing. Add some white rice and chicken and you have a quick, great tasting meal. I’ve been looking for a sauce like the Japanese bbq one for awhile, and will be buying this again when I run out.

    overall a solid sauce to keep in your pantry. i've tried a few of the varieties: original, yuzu, and spicy—I personally think that the original is the one I'll keep coming back to, as it's the most basic and versatile? I've used it as a quick finisher topping AND as an overnight marinade for meat and fish dishes. The flavor is savory and sweet, but I will say that I also don't find the flavor to be particularly innovative or have a high wow factor. I do appreciate the packaging and branding—it's cute and brings an element of delight to my product experience.
