Tips:

  • Choose the Right Ingredients: Use high-quality ingredients like soy sauce, sake, mirin, and brown sugar to ensure the best flavor. Authentic Japanese ingredients are recommended for a truly authentic taste.
  • Properly Measure and Mix: Follow the recipe's measurements and instructions accurately. Ensure the sauce is well mixed and smooth before using.
  • Simmer for Flavor Development: Simmering the sauce over medium-low heat allows the flavors to develop and deepen. Be patient and let the sauce gently simmer for the specified time.
  • Adjust Consistency: If you prefer a thicker sauce, simmer for a longer time or add a thickener like cornstarch or arrowroot powder. For a thinner sauce, add a little water or dashi.
