Best Teriyaki Sauce

Hey Everyone,

On a whim, I searched for who makes the best teriyaki sauce. Someone in the best condiments thread recommended Mr. Yoshida's. I would like your recommendations on what brand(s) you recommend and perhaps a suggestion such as "This teriyaki sauce goes great with this meat while this teriyaki sauce goes great with this dish", etc. Or maybe make my own homemade teriyaki sauce.

Recipes are more then welcome(for teriyaki sauce as well as dishes made from it)


Thanks!!!

Not for retail sale but Mikoshi in LA, which started as a chain but now I can only think of the one located by USC, really has some of the best "teriyaki"-style sauce I can think of. For those who didn't know, Mikoshi was actually started by MOS. Yep. Used to be for retail sale but Gyu Kaku has a great miso-teriyaki sauce, too. In terms of retail I've never liked anything I've tried at a regular market. I've found a few sauces at Whole Foods, like Korean bugogli, that have been good but have been afraid to try anything "teriyaki" in fear it'll end up tasting like that Kikkoman crap.

Yoshida's is decent and readily availabe. And not really teriyaki but Bulldog sauce (for katsu, yakisoba and others, kind of a Japanese ketchup/bbq sauce) is also a must have, along with oyster sauce (for gai-lan and asparagus, etc) and hoisin sauce. For the last two the Lee Kum Kee brand seems to be fine, though I'm not a connoisseur at all.

The best teriyaki sauce is made as you cook the meat, but this really only works with beef or fish with the skin on.

For steak cook in a little oil on one side for about three minutes, then add 3tbsps of sake, flip the steak and sear for three minutes covered. Then remove the meat and add 3Tbs Soy Sauce and 3 Tbs Mirin - this will quickly boil down into a glaze. Then take the meat and put it back into the pan and cook in the sauce for about 20-30 secs on each side.


For lighter meats, use the following recipe

7 Tbsps Sake
7 Tbsps Mirin
7 Tbsps Kikkoman Soy Sauce
1 Tbsp of suger

Mix ingredients in a sauce pan and bring to a boil. When sugar is dissolved, remove from heat and and use immediately.

I guarantee these recipes are better than any of the bottled stuff.

You'll probably have to make it yourself. The problem is that if it contains fake mirin (i.e. corn syrup), it's crap. I don't know of any brands of Teriyaki sauce readily available in the US that aren't made this way.
