Does it have to sit for 24 hours prior to serving?

This is a good recipe for teriyaki except for the amount of sugar required. I was born and raised in Japan and the amount of sugar in this recipe is just too much. Sweetness should not overwhelm the food. If you served this sauce in Japan, they would spit it out. The mirin is already sweet and adding sugar should be done sparingly. Add sugar a bit at a time until it's just sweet enough. I think you will find that it compliments the chicken, beef, shrimp, or whatever else you put it on much better. Other than the sugar, the teriyaki has a very nice flavor to it.

Yakitori is Japanese for chicken on a skewer, but the sauce is far superior to BBQ sauce for roast/BBQ chicken or pork. Try it, you'll like it.
