Marinade tasted like olive oil, the other flavors did not shine through. Would not make again.

I think it is delicious, although I do use a high quality Hon-Mirin (the real stuff), not the typical supermarket Aji-Mirin that relies on added sugar (and tastes like slightly odd corn syrup). Also, note that the recipe says to serve on the side. The title notwithstanding, this is a dipping sauce, not a marinade.

Good basic recipe but increased soy. Add ginger and sesame oil for additional flavor.

Better use sesame oil

I followed the prevailing wisdom from other readers and doubled the soy sauce, added freshly grated ginger, and a few drops of sesame oil. I was cooking for 1 so used half to marinate for 30 minutes and the other half for dipping. It was delicious

I love this but definitely add sesame oil and finely chopped fresh ginger. Yum!
