Bachan's

We're honored to share that our Sesame Garlic Japanese Dipping Sauce was named a winner of Bon Appetit's first-ever Pantry Awards! "When I first tried Bachan’s Original Japanese Barbecue Sauce, it quickly became a household staple—so when I spotted its new dipping sauce at the grocery store, I had to try it. It’s thicker than the original, with the same addictive sweet, miso-rich, sesame-forward flavor." Thank you to the editors at Bon Appetit! Read more: https://lnkd.in/gXTiTgtJ

We’re honored to share that Bachan’s has joined the The Marzetti Company family. Marzetti shares our commitment to family heritage, values, and quality. Nothing is going to change as far as our family recipe or the quality of our products, we will simply have more resources and capabilities that will allow us to go farther and faster with the Bachan’s brand. From Bachan’s founder Justin Gill - “Over the last several years, building Bachan’s has allowed me to fulfill my childhood dream of bringing my family’s sauce to market. My team and I have been working incredibly hard to deliver on this vision of building the first iconic Japanese-American flavor brand, and I am honored to partner with The Marzetti Company for the next stage of making my vision for Bachan’s a reality.” “I am not only impressed by Marzetti’s incredible history, portfolio of brands, capabilities and mission – but what has left the most meaningful impression on me is who they are as people. Bachan’s is more than just a business or a brand to me - it is part of my family’s legacy and our brand values are my own personal values, instilled in me by my family. Marzetti is an organization that deeply shares these values, and I am confident they will honor them in this next chapter for Bachan’s. My team and I could not be more excited for our future with Marzetti as our strategic partner and as the new home for Bachan’s.” Thank you to our beloved Bachan’s fam, our team and longtime supporters, all of our retail partners, and everyone that has helped us build this brand day in and day out.
