When I cook Japanese dishes, I often use Soy Sauce, Sugar and Mirin for seasoning. And the ratio is same most of the times. When I use those three seasonings, I often add Ginger and Garlic. What if I have a bottle of all those ingredients already combined? And this is it!

This sauce is super versatile, and it can be used as a ‘Shabu Shabu’ dipping sauce and ‘Yakiniku’ sauce as well. By adding vinegar, citrus juice, oil, chilli or other ingredients, it can be used marinade, salad dressing, and etc.
