For a richer, more complex flavor, consider adding 1/2 cup of dashi (Japanese stock) to the saucepan along with the other ingredients. Dashi is best made at home for optimal taste.
Adjust the sugar level to your preference. If you prefer a less sweet sauce, start with 1/4 cup of sugar and add more to taste.
Store leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Reheat gently before using.
