Japan-Inspired Soy Glazes

William Sonama's Izakaya Rintaro Sake Soy Glaze is Slowly Simmered

— May 16, 2019 — Lifestyle
William Sonoma's Izakaya Rintaro Sake Soy glaze is perfect for grilling chicken and is made in collaboration with Chef Sylvan Mishima Brackett, who also owns Izakaya Rintaro in San Francisco.

The restaurant boasts simplistic, yet rich flavors of Japan, also serving as the name of the soy glaze. The collaborative glaze is highlighted by strong names of umami, bringing forth its rich and bold flavors. It also blends together a savory selection of mirin, brown sugar, sake, and soy. All of the ingredients are slowly simmered in order to create the overall texture and concentrate. To make the signature Japanese yakitori grilled chicken, it is suggested that the chicken should be dipped into the glaze before being grilled.
