Chef's tip
Use the same volume. Baking behavior varies by blend: some brown faster or stay softer, while others brown less. Follow the package's baking guidance and start checking a few minutes early.

Instructions

1
Combine the soy sauce, mirin, sake, and sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely.
2
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has reduced by about one-third and coats the back of a spoon with a thin, glossy layer, 15 to 18 minutes. Watch the heat — the sugars can scorch quickly if the simmer becomes too vigorous.
