Thanks. I'm assuming I can get this locally (GTA) since it's Kikkoman.

Looking at the website, I can only get it online? No local retailers (T&T, Walmart, Loblaws, etc)?

I get it at a YIG. Your Independent Grocer. Part of the Loblaws supply chain.

I also like the Golden Dragon Thick Teriyaki. Pretty sure they have it at WalMart.

I mixed my own...

1:1 mirin-to-light soy sauce ratio + half-tea spoon sesame oil + half tea spoon sugar.

Try it...and judge for yourself :)

In a small pot, pour in 1/2 cup mirin (Japanese sauce you can find at PC or Asian markets) and slowly heat it up at Medium heat. Then pour in 1/2 cup light soy sauce and add the rest of the ingredients then slowly stir. Continue to stir until slightly boil then let it rest.

Taste test it...you might need to adjust depending on your preference.

Lastly, the sauce you just made will be slightly liquidy but if you want to thicken it...in a separate bowl, mix 1/4 of cornstarch with water then mix into the sauce.

Update: some might disagree but using a good brand soy sauce makes a huge difference (ie. None of this crap by No Nam brand....try to use Lee Kum Lee or other superior brands).

I haven't tried too many bottles of Teriyaki sauce, but I did like the one I got at Teriyaki Experience.

Yeah, it's actually pretty easy to make your own teriyaki sauce, often tastes better than the bottled stuff. What Dragon120 said is pretty much a typical recipe, you can always adjust it to your tastes. I find brown sugar seems to give it a better taste.

Mirin is a Japanese rice seasoning, almost like rice wine.

This is a good recipe! Mine is similar but i don't add sesame oil, I should try next time.

But I also add in sake. 1/2 sake I guess, I just eye ball it usually.
