Combine ground chicken, chopped green onions, grated ginger, minced garlic, soy sauce, mirin, sake, egg, panko breadcrumbs, and black pepper in a bowl.

Mix the ingredients until well combined and form into small balls or patties.

Heat a grill or skillet over medium heat and lightly oil the surface.

Place the tsukune on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through.

Brush with additional soy sauce or tare sauce during the last few minutes of cooking for added flavor.

Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
