Umami BBQ Sauces

Bachan’s Miso Japanese Barbecue Sauce Features Two Types of Miso

— March 7, 2023 — Lifestyle
The Original Japanese Barbecue Sauce brand, Bachan’s, will be highlighting its range of condiments at Natural Products Expo West 2023, including a new Miso Japanese Barbecue Sauce. This umami barbecue sauce is made with two types of miso (red and white) to provide the perfect balance of mellowness and boldness. As such, this barbecue sauce lends itself well to being paired with lighter flavors such as fish and veggies, although it's just as versatile as other sauces.

This year marks the brand's inaugural appearance at the show. Justin Gill, Bachan’s founder and CEO, says, "Expo attendees are savvy, early adopters of what the general public will soon crave."

The fifth taste, umami is known for its savory, earthy, and full-bodied flavor. Umami has been used in Asian cuisine for centuries but is now gaining recognition and appreciation in the West.
Trend Themes
1. Umami BBQ Sauces - The use of umami flavors in barbecue sauces creates a new taste experience that appeals to foodies and adventurous eaters alike.
2. Miso-based Sauces - Miso-based sauces are gaining popularity as a healthier and more flavorful alternative to traditional barbecue sauces.
3. Asian-inspired Condiments - The rise of Asian-inspired condiments shows a growing interest in exploring new and exotic flavors in mainstream cuisine.
Industry Implications
1. Food Manufacturing - Food manufacturers can capitalize on the trend of umami BBQ sauces by developing innovative products that cater to different dietary preferences and consumer tastes.
2. Grocery and Retail - Grocery and retail businesses can introduce a range of miso-based sauces to differentiate themselves from the competition and provide unique value to their customers.
3. Food Service - Food service providers can incorporate umami flavors and miso-based sauces into their menus to tap into the growing demand for new and exciting taste experiences.
