Bachan's Reviews

4.6

Bachan’s earns strong reviews as a flavorful, versatile Japanese-style barbecue and teriyaki-style sauce that reliably elevates meats, rice bowls, tofu, and stir-fries, with consistent taste across Original, Gluten-Free, Yuzu, Honey Barbecue, and Hot & Spicy. Reviews also flag drawbacks: the sauce runs thin and can be very sweet, bottle nozzles often clog, some prefer glass over plastic, and a few find the flavor unremarkable or wish for more heat or broader gluten-free options.

    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.

    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.

    A great and versatile sauce. We love trying all the different flavors, the Miso is my favorite. Makes any meal a lot better and packs a punch without needing a lot. My only complaint is the price seems a bit high for the amount.

    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.
