For later use, allow the sauce to cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container and storing it in the refrigerator. (Cool time: ~30 minutes). Stored properly, it will keep for up to a week.
For a richer flavor, consider using a high-quality, naturally brewed soy sauce.
Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less sugar to suit your preference.
If you don't have sake, you can substitute with dry sherry in a pinch.
A touch of grated ginger or garlic can add an extra layer of complexity to the sauce.
