Bachan's

Bachan is a Japanese American term of endearment for grandmother and our sauce is named after my Bachan. She’s the inspiration behind everything we do. She’s who taught my parents how to make our sauce when I was a kid and they all together taught me.

Ever since I can remember our sauce has been a part of our meals from regular family dinners to every holiday to every party, we always had a dish that was made with our sauce. And since I was a young kid, my entire family – my dad, my mom, my Bachan, my grandfather, my brothers and sisters – we would get together every year during the holidays and make a big batch of our sauce. And we would bottle it up and hand it out door-to-door to clients of our family landscape business and also friends and family. We do that every year during the holidays and people would lose their minds over the sauce. Every year they would show up months after the holidays with an empty bottle asking for a refill.  They would ask for their recipe, of course, and they would offer to buy it. I just saw from a young age that people really love this sauce and we were making something special.
