The Japanese Barbecue Sauce Brand Deserving Of All Its Hype

Bachan's Original Barbecue Sauce has thousands of glowing reviews amounting to a nearly perfect five stars, with hundreds of people insisting that it is versatile and delicious.

Bachan's offers various flavors, ranging from sweet and spicy to miso and yuzu. The original contains tomato paste and vinegar, soy, mirin, ginger, garlic, and green onion.

The recipe marries the idea of teriyaki and barbecue, so it can be used for both grilling and dipping. The sauce is thinner than a typical barbecue sauce.

The sauce is worth the hype for being flavorful, versatile, and unique. It recreates the flavors of Korean BBQ or Japanese teriyaki, which is thinner and emphasizes umami.

It works well as a glaze for salmon, tossed into a stir fry, and as a dipping sauce for food you'd typically eat with soy sauce rather than the foods you'd eat with barbecue.
