I made this with low sodium soy sauce and it was still very salty tasting. I thought with the amount of mirin and the addition of the sugar it would mellow out the soy, but it didn't. It did have a good flavor otherwise (if you can get past the salty). I will make it again with less soy sauce and see how that works. Made for Everyday Holiday Tag.
