Prepare the ribs by removing the silver skin from the back.

Mix soy sauce, mirin, sake, sugar, ginger, garlic, and black pepper in a bowl to create a marinade.

Coat the ribs with the marinade and let them sit for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight in the refrigerator.

Preheat the grill to medium heat.

Remove the ribs from the marinade and pat them dry with paper towels.

Brush the grill grates with cooking oil to prevent sticking.

Place the ribs on the grill and cook for about 20 minutes, turning occasionally until browned.

In a saucepan, combine the remaining marinade with water and bring to a boil.

Reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes to thicken the sauce slightly.

Baste the ribs with the thickened sauce during the last 5 minutes of grilling.

Remove the ribs from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
