Made a big bottle, used it a bunch, love it too death. I always made mine with rice vinegar but i really like the depth the mirin and sake give it much better.

Aaaand just like that, store-bought teriyaki sauce is ruined. I hate measuring ingredients when I cook (oops) but I made sure to follow this one and it was so worth it!

Hi Lisa! I am not sure i’ll be able to find mirin, can i substitute soy sauce instead? Thank you! 🙏🏼
No, sorry mirin and soy sauce are completely different!
I made this last week for the first time and it was amazing! I substituted a cheap white wine for the sake on the advise of my Japanese SIL as I had no access to the saki needed for this in Ireland. It worked really well

So simple but delicious. 💛

This is delicious! I made it using water instead of sake. I can’t see myself ever buying pre-made teriyaki sauce again. However, I’d like to try the original recipe.
Is the type of sake in this sauce pasteurized or unpasteurized? Would something with crisp and fruity notes be alright like Junmai Ginjo? I wasn’t sure if there’s a specific sake for cooking you’d recommend, or if just about any sake would work.
