Start by preparing the ingredients: 200 ml soy sauce, 200 ml mirin, 150 grams sugar, 50 grams honey, 50 ml sake, 30 grams ginger, and 4-5 cloves of garlic.

Peel the garlic and ginger, then chop the garlic and grate the ginger.

In a saucepan, combine mirin and sake, and bring to a boil.

Once boiling, add the soy sauce and sugar, mixing well to prevent burning.

After the sugar has dissolved, add the honey, ginger, and garlic.

Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 40 to 50 minutes to achieve desired thickness.

Stir occasionally and scrape any caramelized bits from the bottom for flavor.

Once the sauce has thickened to your liking, turn off the heat and let it cool.

Transfer the cooled teriyaki sauce to a jar for storage.
