Bachan's Japanese Barbecue Sauce, 34 oz

This sauce is made with soy sauce (traditionally brewed from soybeans, wheat, water, and salt) as the base, delivering its signature umami-forward profile. It is balanced with organic cane sugar and mirin (a sweet rice wine), which add mild sweetness and depth.

Additional ingredients include water, tomato paste, garlic, and ginger for savory complexity, along with green onion and rice vinegar to brighten the flavor. The result is a clean, well-rounded Japanese-style barbecue sauce with no artificial flavors or preservatives, suitable for marinades, glazing, and finishing in both home and food-service kitchens.
