Bachan's Reviews
Experience
I think this sauce is a great "quick and easy" condiment to have around the kitchen. It has a thinner consistency which makes it excellent for marinades and stir-fries. The flavor itself is good, but nothing new or extraordinary to me. It has a very close taste profile to Hoisin sauce.
Experience
I can't go to Whole Foods without impulse buying 40 sauces and I recently tried this-- SO good on everything.
Experience
Delicious. Had wanted to try it, but was intimidated by the price. A friend had some in their fridge; gave it a try and bought some of my own. Yes, it would be possibly to approximate a version of this; the ingredients aren't uncommon. But this is convenient and high quality. My initial hesitation re: price no longer exists — you could go overboard and burn through this stuff impractically quickly, but a little goes a long way, and can be carried further with other flavoring agents and liquids. Rating: BUY

None. Good stuff!

Really delicious sauce that is good on meats and veggies, but also just on some hot white rice!
Experience
Was excited to discover this sauce, and a gluten free version, at a local bodega and love it! I appreciate how simple the ingredients are - it’s like something I could make at home but know I never will. We use this for salmon, rice dishes, chicken, etc - all really easy and delicious

I’ve recently had some trouble getting it to come out of the nozzle like some others have mentioned

So good with plenty of applications. That perfect taste of Japanese bbq!

Cost is a little high but the quality is there. Only issue I’ve had is with the nozzle on the bottle getting plugged up.

The Japanese BBQ sauce is the little engine that could! I bought this as an impulse buy on vacation in a kitchen goods store a year ago, and whenever I'm making a dish that is just missing a little something, this sauce really steps up. I appreciate the simple ingredients and fun packaging, too.

These sauces are great!
Experience
Love the original sauce it has that classic Asian flavor you look for in a dish. Like the spicy sauce, but can’t go wrong with the original even my 5 year old loves it.

I always seek to have trouble with the twist top dispenser, it always clogs. Other than that the products are great in size and shape and fit well in the refrigerator.
