Traditional Japanese recipe I'd copied from a Japanese cookbook many years ago. The best thing is it will keep indefinitely and even matures and improves with age. I generally make a batch using a whole bottle of sake (and you can use the bottle to hold 1/2 the batch). Is exceptional with Yellow Box Honey... but any good quality honey will do. Excellent marinade for chicken and seafood, or in stir fried tofu/veges.

This is very close to the same recipe I have used for years. Mine leaves out the honey. Got mine from my neighbors, the Takai's, back in the early 70's. Very versatile. Keeps for a long time. And you can add ingredients. Mary Takai used 1 part soy sauce and sake, 1 1/2 parts mirin.
