teriyaki glaze

Japanese sauce reduction

Teriyaki glaze is a sweet, glossy sauce used in Japanese and Japanese-American cooking, typically made from soy sauce, mirin or sake, and sugar.

It's brushed onto grilled or broiled meats and fish, caramelizing into a shiny coating: chicken wings with teriyaki glaze, salmon finished with a teriyaki glaze.

The word teriyaki combines the Japanese words for shine and grill.
