Thank the Japanese for one of the most popular choices for Americans on an Asian restaurant menu: teriyaki. The pieces of grilled chicken, pork or beef are doused with a sauce, usually a combination of soy sauce, sake and mirin (a combination of rice yeast and Japanese liquor) that adds the teri (gloss) to the yaki (roasted, broiled or grilled meat).
Here are neighborhood restaurants where you can order this popular dish.
