Love the product. Delicious every time. So glad that it was very well packaged and arrived in perfect condition, which is not always the case with glass jars.

We love Bachan’s Japanese BBQ sauce - especially the Miso and Yuzu flavors. I lived in Japan for 23 years and I can attest to the authenticity of this sauce and the flavors! I’m definitely a loyal cus... See more

I have always liked this Japanese barbecue sauce in its variety of flavors! By accident, I used it as an ingredient to cover up a mistake I had made, and it turned out to be the missing link in my que... See more

We love Bachan's original sauce and I was so excited to see a gift set come available for Christmas. Based on other reviews, I see I'm not the only one who experienced a hiccup in deliveries. I reache... See more

Available at Walmart for less.

Available at Walmart for less.
While I don't know if your BBQ sauce is wonderful or not (I gave it as a gift), I was disappointed to find out that the $12+ dollar a bottle of, what I thought, was a "special" stocking stuffer was available at Walmart for $9+. Now I just feel "jipped".
I won't order on-line anymore.

Good product. But too many followup emails to buy more

Great product but far too many email solicitations to buy more. Tried to unsubscribe but that didn't work. I have tried blocking your emails. I will never buy online from you again

Even though your stock ran low

Even though your stock ran low, I received my order of (3) in plenty of time for Christmas. So thank you for that!
My 2 sons and 1 son-in-law were thrilled. Whenever we are together there is always a discussion about their grills/smokers. We live outside Philly but they grille all year except maybe in February:)

Excited to taste, but box ruined the surprise…

My husband is very excited to try these but I wish you would have shipped with discreet packaging. It was meant as a gift, which was slightly ruined when my husband brought the box in.

Hi Ryan,
Thank you for your message and giving us the opportunity to ease your concern. We received your email on the 12th and replied to it on the same day, can you please check your spam inbox, perhaps it went there? And we are so sorry about the delay. Due to high volume orders and demand, an item which is included in the Gift Box that you ordered became out of stock. As we truly value and appreciate our customers, our teams have been working diligently to resolve this ASAP. As a result, we received more inventory and will ship your order today! Again, our sincere apologies for the delay and thank you so much for your patience, understanding and support. Wishing you a wonderful holiday season.

I got a message that my order has been delayed. It’s been over a week and no message about the status of my order, but I’ve gotten countless advertising emails about things to buy from you. If I can’t even get the first item I ordered delivered to me successfully, why would I buy any of the other products in the email advertisements?

Still Waiting

I ordered this gift box as a Christmas gift for my friend, and it still has yet to ship... I ordered on December 2nd. I'm hoping it ships soon otherwise I won't be able to get it to them in time for the holiday. I received one email saying the shipment would be delayed on 12/4, but haven't received any communication since then about my order.

I unfortunately cannot rate the product as I have not yet received it…. Can you please advise when it is expected to be shipped and when it should arrive, as it is meant to be a Christmas gift for my husband.
