Bachan's Yuzu Japanese BBQ Sauce

$14.95

Tart, fragrant, and incredibly bright, Bachan's uses only fresh, natural ingredients in its tangy Yuzu Japanese Barbecue Sauce. Authentic Japanese shoyu—soy sauce made with wheat—provides an earthy, umami flavor base, while cane sugar and mirin add the signature complementary sweetness. It’s sweet, salty and spicy with just enough acidity to keep it from being cloying. Bachan's also layers green onion, ginger and garlic, which add aromatic complexity and ground the sauce in earthy, savory notes. In a nod to Western barbecue sauce, the secret recipe also includes tomato paste, which adds a nuanced, natural fruitiness and thickens the sauce.

Shibanuma Yakiniku BBQ Sauce

$16.95

Translating to “grilled meat” in Japanese, yakiniku is a social style of cooking and eating around a communal grill. Popular throughout Japan, family and friends gather around a tabletop grill to cook meat, vegetables and fish together before dipping them into a several kinds of yakiniku sauces. Shibanuma’s Yakiniku BBQ Sauce is inspired by this concept. Crafted by a 330-year-old esteemed Japanese soy sauce maker, it is no surprise that the first ingredient in this sauce is an umami-rich soy sauce, which is brewed and aged in wooden barrels. The soy is then combined with onion, fruity apple and zingy sansho pepper—a fragrant and floral Japanese peppercorn—to cut through the richness and balance out the flavors. The result? A complex grilling sauce that works just as well as a marinade as it does drizzled over rice.
