Teriyaki

Teriyaki[a] is a cooking technique in which foods are broiled or grilled with a glaze of soy sauce, mirin, and sugar.

Fish – yellowtail, marlin, skipjack tuna, salmon, trout, and mackerel – and chicken[4] is mainly used in Japan, while white and red other meat – pork, lamb, and beef – is more often used in the West.

[6] The tare (タレ) is traditionally made by blending soy sauce, sake (or mirin), and sugar over heat.

This often even includes those using foreign alternatives to sake or mirin, or with added ingredients, such as sesame or garlic (uncommon in traditional Japanese cuisine[citation needed]).

It has been described as the city's signature cuisine by some outlets, noting its widespread adoption as a form of fast food.
