The flavors are unique and irreplaceable. I also love the variety of each sauce; you can add it to any dish, and it will never disappoint. ### **Do you have any fond memories of family meals/cooking growing up?** Family parties were always the best memories growing up. We have a fairly large family, and every year, New Year's Day has been my favorite because of all the food and tradition! I always look forward to it. ### **How does Bachan’s inspire you to make the dishes you do with it?** I love recreating dishes from my childhood, but one thing I particularly enjoy is taking leftovers and creating entirely new dishes, a skill I picked up from my Dad. ### **If you could only pick 1 main dish and 1 side dish to eat at a summer BBQ what would they be?** This is a hard one, but I would say chicken katsu and baked beans. ### **What is your favorite Bachan’s Flavor?  Is there any particular reason why that’s your favorite?** My favorite Bachans flavor is Miso. I absolutely love miso in general and use it frequently in my cooking, so having a sauce that already incorporates it is just perfect! ### **What are your favorite things to do with Bachan’s sauces?** Obviously, I love cooking with the sauces (like Spam musubi, stir fry, eggs, salmon, teriyaki burgers, chicken, etc.), but I especially love sharing the sauces with people! Seeing their reactions after tasting it for the first time and the joy it brings is priceless. ### **Can you tell us why you’re drawn to working with us and what you appreciate most about Bachan’s as a company and a brand?** What drew me towards Bachan's and what I appreciated the most about the company was that it is their Grandma's recipe. It is extremely nostalgic for me and immediately reminded me of when I could cook with my Grandma and how her recipes are ones that I will always remember. My grandparents have always been one of my favorite memories growing up, and I was lucky to have many years with them.
