From Our Family To Yours

Bachan means grandma and my bachan means business

Hi. My name's Justin Gill, Bachan's founder and CEO. The recipe for Bachan's Japanese Barbecue Sauce has been passed down in my family for generations.

My bachan, Judy Yokoyama, was born in Sebastopol, CA in 1936. She spent her whole life here, except for a two-year displacement in a Japanese internment camp. There, the love and support that she sustained with her family - oftentimes over a shared meal - is what kept them strong and connected.

Bachan later taught our family's authentic Japanese barbecue sauce recipe to me and my parents, and now I get to share it with you as a way to celebrate my family's rich heritage and flavors.

WE USE REAL INGREDIENTS BECAUSE IT TASTES BETTER THAT WAY

Our Ingredients Matter^®

To stay true to our founder Justin’s original family recipe, we make our sauces in the way you would for your own family – in small batches with high quality, non-GMO ingredients. We also cold-fill our sauces—which eliminates any need for additives, preservatives, or flavorings. Our crave-worthy flavor comes naturally from delicious, clean ingredients. Bachan’s orders.
