Teriyaki is a quintessential sweet and savory Japanese sauce found in many dishes in Japan such as tsukune (Japanese chicken meatballs), teriyaki chicken wings, teriyaki baked salmon, and more. 

This flavorful teriyaki sauce will elevate your dishes and is made from three simple ingredients: soy sauce using white-grain soybean from Iwate Prefecture, unrefined cane sugar from Kagoshima Prefecture  and hon (true/genuine) mirin from Gifu Prefecture. 

Our producer, Yagisawa Shoten, is located in Iwate Prefecture, a large prefecture on the northeastern coast of Japan’s main island of Honshu, an area severely damaged by the 2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami. In a single moment, the earthquake completely destroyed Yagisawa Shoten’s two factories and in the end, they were left with only two trucks. With a strong commitment to reviving their livelihood, the company rebuilt and is now able to continue producing their homemade products.

Suggested uses: Extremely versatile, this teriyaki sauce can be used as a marinade or glaze for meats or fish, as a bbq sauce on ribs, in stir fry dishes or as a glaze for mochi, similar to mitarashi dango. Try using 2 Tbsp in our Oyakodon (Chicken and Egg Bowl) recipe instead of the soy sauce, sugar and mirin or use any ingredients you have on hand to create your own homemade donburi (rice bowl). Can also be used in traditional Japanese dishes such as nimono (simmered vegetable and seafood), kakuni (braised pork), kinpira gobo (braised carrots and burdock), or as a substitute in recipes for soy sauce, sugar and mirin.
