Bachan’s® Sweet Honey Japanese Barbecue Sauce

4.8 5 0 236 236 This Sweet Honey Japanese Barbecue Sauce is made with organic honey but that doesn’t mean it’s all sweet and innocent. No. It’s got edge. The golden honey makes the umami flavor of this Japanese Barbecue Sauce hit harder. The soy, ginger, and green onion pop. It’s richer. Warmer. This crave-worthy flavor always comes from simple, clean ingredients.

I quite like this product
This product is like a slightly sweetened soy sauce. It’s not the typical American barbecue sauce flavor, but I believe it would be a really nice sauce to use as a marinade for barbecued items.

good sauce
This is definitely different than your regular BBQ - thinner and more of a vinegar-y flavor, but works perfectly for meals such as chicken and rice bowls with veggies. It doesn't replace my regular BBQ but is a nice addition to my sauce rotation!

Yummy sweet teriyaki BBQ
I do most of the cooking in my house, and we use this sauce often. It's close to a teriyaki but thinner, and it is made with simple ingredients. The tomato makes it more of a bbq. IMHO, it is too sweet, but my husband and kiddo love it! For weeknight stirfrys, noodles, crispy chicken strips, and marinades, it's one of our go-tos.

Great Taste
This sauce is very good. Taste just like Japanese BBQ sauce. I use this on just about everything. The squeeze bottle is convenient. I would like to see different flavors from this brand.

Best BBQ
Bachan’s Japanese Barbecue Sauce has quickly become a staple in my kitchen, and for good reason! If you're a fan of bold, umami-packed flavors, this sauce is a must-try. The sauce has a smooth, pourable consistency, making it easy to apply without being too runny or too thick. It clings to food well, but it’s not sticky or gloopy, allowing you to control how much you use without overdoing it. I’ve used Bachan’s sauce on everything from grilled chicken and beef to roasted veggies and even as a dipping sauce for dumplings. It adds a distinct Japanese flair to just about any dish, making it a go-to option for anyone looking to elevate their meals with minimal effort.

It’s good
I’m not a huge sauce person… Without being said, the sauce taste good. It’s got a weird little twist/kick to it… but in moderation it’s okay. I can’t quite describe, but, I personally wouldn’t use again, but it appears many around me WOULD use it again.

Sweet and umami
I recently tried Bachan's Sweet Honey Japanese BBQ Sauce at home, and it’s delicious! The sweet honey flavor is perfectly balanced with savory soy sauce, giving it a unique, umami-rich taste. It’s not too thick making it a great marinade option for meats or veggies. I used it on grilled veggies and loved how it enhanced the flavor without overpowering it. It’s definitely a great twist on traditional BBQ sauce and perfect for anyone looking to try something new!

Adds sweetness to savory food
Adds great flavor to almost anything. Great on steaks, burgers and hotdogs. Also good for dipping chicken nuggets.

Love this on grilled chicken
I came across this product by accident at the store and decided to pick it up because I really like this brand. This Japanese BBQ sauce is so good on grilled chicken. I use it to marinate the chicken a little bit and then I also put it on the chicken while I am grilling. You can then use it at the table as well but it just brings such a great flavor. It's not too spicy it's not too sweet it's just the perfect balance.

Great marinade
Bought a very small bottle at the grocery store and loved it so we bought this larger bottle. It is perfect on grilled salmon and we just tried chicken. I use it as BBQ sauce on chicken after we grill/ it’s thick and has a great not too sweet taste with just a little kick

Tasty
I'm not a huge sauce guy, my go to is hot sauce, and that's usually it, but I do like trying new things and always buy new condiments and sauces to try. This is one I really enjoyed. I put it on chicken mostly, good on veggies too. Little sweet, good taste, great on a chicken sandwiches.

A Sweet and Savory Delight

This sauce beautifully blends sweet and savory flavors, making it perfect for grilled meats, vegetables, and even as a dipping sauce. The hint of honey adds a delightful sweetness that complements the umami, creating a rich and flavorful experience. What I love most is its versatility; it works wonderfully as a marinade for chicken and pork, and it also makes an excellent glaze for grilled tofu. The consistency is just right—not too thick, allowing for easy application without making a mess. Plus, it’s made with high-quality ingredients, which is a big plus. Overall, Bachan's Sweet Honey Japanese Barbecue Sauce is a delicious addition to any barbecue or dinner table. It elevates everyday meals and brings a taste of Japan to your cooking. I highly recommend giving it a try!
