Teriyaki is one of the most popular Japanese cooking methods using a sauce made from soy sauce, mirin, sake and sugar. The sugar in the mirin, along with the added sugar creates a sweet glossy glaze as the sauce cooks. This shine is what gives teriyaki it’s name- Teri means shine or glaze, and yaki means grilled or pan-fried.
