Teriyaki sauce

照り焼きのタレ

Teriyaki sauce is a classic Japanese condiment traditionally crafted from a simmered blend of soy sauce, mirin, sake, and sugar. This glossy sauce balances deep umami with a distinct sweetness, functioning beautifully as both a rich marinade and a glaze for grilled proteins. When heated, the sugars caramelize to create a beautiful, shiny coating that locks in moisture and adds a savory-sweet depth to dishes like chicken or beef.
