Prepare the marinade by mixing soy sauce, mirin, sake, sugar, ginger, and garlic in a bowl.

Add chicken wings to the marinade and coat well.

Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor.

Preheat the grill or broiler to medium-high heat.

Remove wings from marinade and shake off excess.

Place wings on the grill or broiler rack in a single layer.

Cook for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until wings are charred and cooked through.

During the last few minutes of cooking, brush with reserved marinade for extra flavor.

Remove wings from heat and let rest for a few minutes.

Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
