Notes
The best tip to use to make the perfect, shimmering glaze sauce is to use thick soy sauce (Koikuchi Shoyu), Hon Mirin, and Pure Honey with nice consistency. If you use thin soy sauce, the glaze color will fade. Furthermore, if you use normal sugar, the glaze might not as mouthwatering when using Hon Mirin and Pure Honey.
