Bachan's – Authentic Japanese BBQ Sauce Inspired by Family Tradition
Bachan's Japanese BBQ Sauce began with a treasured family recipe passed down through generations. "Bachan" means grandmother in Japanese, and every bottle reflects the warmth, hospitality, and authentic home cooking that inspired the brand. Rather than creating another thick, sugary barbecue sauce, Bachan's focused on producing a clean, balanced sauce built around traditional Japanese ingredients that naturally enhance the flavour of food.
Made in small batches using non-GMO soy sauce, mirin, rice vinegar, fresh garlic, ginger, and green onions, Bachan's delivers the rich umami flavour that Japanese cooking is known for. Free from preservatives, artificial flavours, and unnecessary additives, every bottle offers clean ingredients with exceptional taste that works across countless recipes.
One Sauce. Endless Possibilities.
Bachan's is much more than a barbecue sauce. Its balanced sweet and savoury flavour makes it equally effective as a marinade, finishing glaze, stir-fry sauce, dipping sauce, burger topping, sandwich spread, or cooking sauce. It pairs beautifully with beef, pork, chicken, seafood, vegetables, rice bowls, noodles, and grilled favourites while bringing authentic Japanese-inspired flavour to every meal.
Outstanding for Wild Game
Hunters across Canada have discovered that Bachan's complements wild game exceptionally well. Venison, elk, moose, duck, goose, wild turkey, and wild boar all benefit from the sauce's rich umami profile and balanced sweetness. Use it as a marinade before grilling, brush it onto meat during smoking, or drizzle it over sliced backstrap for an unforgettable finish.
Perfect for Outdoor Cooking
Whether you're cooking over charcoal, smoking on a pellet grill, firing up a gas barbecue, using a flat top grill, or preparing meals at hunting camp, Bachan's adds restaurant-quality flavour with very little effort. Its thin consistency caramelizes beautifully while still allowing the natural flavour of the meat to shine.
Made with Simple Ingredients
One of Bachan's defining qualities is its commitment to clean ingredients. Every bottle is made using carefully selected pantry staples without artificial preservatives, high fructose corn syrup, or unnecessary fillers. The result is a versatile sauce that's as suitable for everyday family dinners as it is for backyard BBQ competitions.
