It’s almost more of a teriyaki sauce than a traditional barbecue sauce.
My family enjoys using it on chicken. I’ve also basted with game hen this towards the end of the smoking process.
It worked well enough, though I’m not sure I’d choose it over a more traditional barbecue sauce. We’ve used it in lieu of teriyaki or soy sauce cooking on the wok too.

As mentioned… goes on thin. I will say it does thicken up a bit as it sits. Good stuff for sure.

It’s OK, worth a try, pretty good on meatballs actually.

We like it enough to keep some on-hand. I'm not sure that I agree with the "teriyaki with ketchup" assessment, because it doesn't taste like that to me, but taste is subjective
I prefer Yoshida, but Yoshida is sweeter and a lot harder to find anymore, except in those industrial size containers.
They have a Yuzu style too, that's not as sweet. We overpay a bit, because we buy the smaller, (17oz), containers. Those big containers at Costco take up too much real-estate in the fridge.
I mainly use it with pork dishes, or a small splash when finishing a spicy beef stir-fry, or dishes where you want that umame flavor.
I'll brush it on pork belly, right before I take it off the grill. I'm going to try to use it as a base for a spicy Thai peanut sauce the next time I make chicken Satay.

Here is a thread I started in January. I’m still on the same bottle and my oldest son loves this stuff and uses it a lot!

If we had a bigger fridge, we would have the big bottle too. We like the yuzu version of the sauce too and I saw a spicy version at Wally World. Gonna have try that one!
I'll go against the grain... I wasn't really impressed.
I picked some up at Ace last summer and tried it on chicken. Too "teriyaki-ey" for me. LOL
I meant to try it later on fried rice and vegetables or something along those lines, but never got back to it.
For grilled chicken etc, I would rather have a more traditional bbq flavor - IF using any sauce at all.
The rub and/or seasoning are usually sufficient for my tastes.

The Original ingredients:

classic Teriyaki sauce:
www.justonecookbook.com
For those interested, a teriyaki is more a glaze with very simple ingredients.
The Bachans is more a Japanese style bbq sauce, similar to what Hoisin sauce is in Chinese cooking (Chinese bbq sauce).
The Bachans is very different than a classic teriyaki sauce. And I'd say closer to a Chinese type sauce with all its ingredients, sans the tomato paste.
All three sauces, do well when hit with direct heat as the sauces will caramelize and enhance the flavor of whatever you're cooking, with teriyaki being the most simple flavor profiles of all three of these sauces (teriyaki, Bachans and hoisin).

I tried both the regular and spicy versions. I did not like at all. Threw them both away. I thought they had a distinct off flavor, almost chemically aftertaste.
