When we ask foreigners if they know any
Japanese words, many people say
'Konnichiwa!', 'Sayonara!', 'Sushi', 'Tempura',
'Karaoke', or 'Geisha'.....

But the word 'Teriyaki' is well known by foreigners
especially among the people who love Japanese food.

Teriyaki is the name of cooking with Teriyaki sauce.

So what is Teriyaki sauce??
It's quite easy to make.  All you need is soy sauce,
mirin (sweet sake; you can purchase from any Japanese
supermarket) , and cooking sake (Ryori-shu).

For Tofu Teriyaki, first sprinkle with starch
