The sauce turned out just right. From now on, this is the sukiyaki sauce I’ll use.

I used it as a sauce for udon. It was very delicious. I’d definitely like to make it again.

I was amazed that sukiyaki sauce could be this easy to make!! You can make it with ingredients you already have at home, and it’s very budget-friendly. I made it using the exact amounts in the recipe, but my family prefers a sweeter flavor, so it tasted a little salty to us. Still, with this method, you can adjust the seasoning to suit your household’s taste, so in our home, I added more water and sugar. The photo below shows a double batch. This means we can finally stop buying store-bought sukiyaki sauce. Thank you!

It turned out very easily and was absolutely delicious. It was finished in 10 minutes. I’ll make it again the next time we have sukiyaki. Thank you very much for the delicious recipe.

While watching a travel show, I started craving it too, so I made it that night. I used only ingredients I had at home, but it turned out really delicious. It was also helpful that it was easy to calculate a single serving.

I made a double batch because I didn’t want to run short. The photo shows the extra portion while it was still being cooked, but the seasoning was just right and it was delicious.

It was incredibly easy to make, and my family loved it too. In the photo, I used the sauce for this chicken dish. It was very delicious.

It’s surprisingly easy. You don’t need to buy store-bought sauce, so it’s simple, inexpensive, and really helpful.

It was easy and delicious. Maybe because I used less sugar, but the flavor was fairly light. It says it serves 1, but since it had more vegetables than usual, splitting it into 2 smaller portions was just right. I’ll make it again!

It was absolutely delicious! I love how easy it is to adjust the seasoning, and the fact that it has no additives is a huge plus. Since it’s homemade rather than store-bought, you also don’t end up stuck with extra sauce, and it’s great that you can make it anytime.
