Although most people would think of a particular dish when teriyaki is mentioned, it is actually a cooking technique wherein foods are broiled or grilled with a glaze of soy sauce, sugar and mirin. The word teriyaki comes from the word “teri,” which refers to the shine or luster given by the sugar content, and “yaki,” which means grilling or broiling.

Teriyaki has become popular in the United States. However, teriyaki in the United States refers to a type of sauce that is put in meats that are not particularly broiled or grilled. Any dish made with a teriyaki-like sauce is described as teriyaki in North America.

Fish such as tuna, trout, mackerel and salmon is mainly used in teriyaki dishes in Japan. Meanwhile, white and red meat like chicken, beef, lamb and pork is more often used in the United States.
