This was pretty good. I broiled salmon and basted it with this saucebut I think it would have been more flavorful if I had used the sauce as a marinade rather than just basting it. Still very good. Thanks!

I'm not a huge fan of asian food, but this sauce is AMAZING!!! It will definitely make it's way into my dinner rotation :D I used low sodium tamari sauce, but I found it a tad too salty still. I will look for a sauce w/ lower sodium & try this again very soon!

This was good! It was very salty though, so next time I will use low sodium soy sauce...it's a must. I had to add extra sugar to try to offset the salty taste. Great recipe though! Use fresh ingredients! I served it with chicken and brocolli over rice.

Hands down the very best teriyaki sauce I have ever had, and that's saying a lot, coming from this 20+ year veteran chef! The only change I made was to add 2 tsp cornstarch dissolved in a small amount of cold water, added to the final simmer. This gave the sauce a little body and helped it cling to the meat. Marinated a top round steak in it for about 4 hours. Teriyaki lovers, take note. Be sure to bookmark this recipe, as it's absolutely phenomenal! Many thanks for posting it.

Delicious! I thickened it up with cornstarch and water like others did and it is fantastic as a marinade or dipping sauce for gyoza.

This is the best teriyaki sauce ever made! I substituted 1 teaspoon of hot chili oil instead of the black pepper and red pepper flakes and ended up with a the most flavorful, perfectly spicy sauce ever. I can't imagine anyone would want to reduce this sauce as it is so flavorful, so to thicken it I add a cornstarch/water mixture while I am cooking with it. Better than any Chinese restaurant-that's for sure!

Great sauce!! followed the recipe to the T. Thank you!!

this sauce is better than the one freshly made at one of our favorite restaurants. do not pass it up! it's good with chicken.

Excellent recipe! Only thing i would change is to use light/reduced sodium soy sauce instead because it came out a little on the salty side.

Oh, for ten stars! Wonderful, wonderful recipe - never had teriyaki sauce this good! We followed the recipe exactly. We found the mirin and the rice vinegar in the natural foods section of our grocery store. DO use all the garlic and DO use fresh ginger! Thank you, Celeste! (I HAD to use that beautiful name! My daughter is Genevieve!)

How tasty! I was excited to see that this recipe was created by someone named Celeste! I have the same name, and it is rare to find someone else named Celeste. The sauce was perfect. I used it as a marinade and a sauce.

This is one of the best home-made teriyaki sauces I have had... they are very difficult to flavor properly without being too salty and this one, made with Low Sodium Soy Sauce and thickened with two tbsp. of corn starch mixed in a little water to form a paste is very close to restaurant teriyaki. Be careful though - too much garlic will qickly overpower this sauce. Another great addition is half an onion carmelized in the ginger and sugar, set to simmer in the Mirin. MMM!

This is a really tasty teriyaki. The only reason I didn't give it five stars is because it was a little too salty and I used low sodium soy sauce.

This came out great, used on broiled salmon, tasted just like a Japenese resturant. I did sprinkle with sesame seed when serving.
