"At CRISP & GREEN, we pride ourselves on crafting the best possible chef-driven dishes in-house, using fresh, seasonal ingredients. Our commitment to delivering exceptional quality is at the heart of everything we do. However, in the rare instances where we find a partner that can elevate an ingredient beyond what we can create ourselves, we're happy to collaborate," said Bill Fairbanks, CRISP & GREEN's Head Chef and Chief Culinary Officer. "Bachan's Japanese Barbecue Sauce is a perfect example. It brings authentic, bold flavors that align perfectly with our culinary values, enhancing our guests' experience by delivering a product that is both delicious and healthy."

CRISP & GREEN is embracing the collaboration with Bachan's Japanese Barbecue Sauce, the bold and savory sauce with a dedicated consumer following, by featuring Bachan's sauce in the new Japanese BBQ Wrap. Bachan's Japanese Barbecue Sauce is a cold-filled, minimally processed condiment made from a cherished multi-generational family recipe. With its high-quality, authentic ingredients, this sauce embodies Bachan's mission to Bring Family Together® through food and connection.

"We're honored to collaborate with CRISP & GREEN on their fall menu," said Bachan's founder and CEO, Justin Gill. "Our Japanese Barbecue Sauce was created to bring families together and share our authentic Japanese American Flavors. It's incredibly fulfilling to see it being used in such innovative and health-conscious ways. CRISP & GREEN's dedication to wholesome quality aligns perfectly with our values, and we're excited for guests to experience the unique flavors we've crafted together."
