Teriyaki sauce is a popular Japanese condiment made from a blend of soy sauce, sake, mirin, and sugar. It has a sweet and savory flavor profile, making it a versatile sauce for marinating, glazing, or dipping various foods. Commonly used with grilled meats, fish, and vegetables, teriyaki sauce enhances the taste of dishes while adding a glossy finish.
The sauce is often associated with Japanese cuisine but has gained popularity worldwide, especially in Asian fusion dishes. It can be found in many grocery stores, and homemade versions allow for customization of sweetness and saltiness to suit individual preferences.
