Warishita blends soy sauce, mirin, sake, and sugar into a sweet-savory simmering liquid used to cook thinly sliced beef and vegetables tableside. Simmered briefly to meld the flavors, it keeps well in the refrigerator and makes sukiyaki night far simpler to prepare. Use it as the braising base for a hot pot filled with beef, tofu, and vegetables.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup soy sauce
  • 1 cup mirin
  • 1/2 cup sake
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon dashi granules
  • 1/4 cup water

Method

  1. In a small saucepan, combine the soy sauce, mirin, sake, sugar, dashi granules, and water.

  2. Set the saucepan over medium heat and whisk occasionally until the sugar and dashi granules fully dissolve.

  3. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, to meld the flavors.

  4. Remove from heat and let cool slightly before transferring to a jar or using immediately as the base for sukiyaki.
