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.
Food is grilled or broiled with a glaze of soy sauce, mirin and sugar. In Western cooking, teriyaki has become a catchall term for a range of soy-based sauces and marinades. This barbecue sauce by a Japanese-American grandmother marries the two cultures for a simple, bold sauce.
We test everything we sell. Here’s how we’d use this.
This yuzu barbecue sauce will work on virtually anything, but we especially like it as a dipping sauce for dumplings, as a base for stir-fries, used in Japanese Yakiniku, as a sauce on chicken wings or fried chicken, as a marinade for meat and fish, added to rice bowls or as a sauce for sautéed veggies.
