Ingredients:
2 3/4 cups good-quality sake
1 cup mirin (sweet rice wine) or sweet vermouth

2 cups water
6 1/8 -inch slices fresh gingerroot

Directions:
1. In a saucepan, bring 3/4 cup of the sake, the mirin, sugar, and soy sauce to a boil. Reduce the heat and cook at a low boil until reduced to a thick glaze. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly.
