Heat a pot on high heat.

Add 1/4 cup mirin to the pot.

Add 1/4 cup sake to the pot.

Cook the mirin and sake to cook off the alcohol.

Add 1/4 cup mellow white miso to the pot and whisk until melted and consistent to create the marinade.

Turn off the heat and add approximately 1/4 cup amazake to the marinade, stirring quickly to combine.

Pat the 2 pounds of cod dry to remove excess moisture.

Cut the cod into pieces and place them in a bowl for marinating.

Coat the cod pieces with the miso marinade, ensuring all surfaces are covered.

Transfer the marinated cod to a larger dish in a single layer, scraping off excess marinade to prevent burning.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

Bake the cod in the oven for 15 minutes, checking for doneness.

If the thicker pieces are not fully cooked, return them to the oven for an additional 5 minutes with some extra marinade.
