HERITAGE
The origins of Teriyaki Bowl
Teriyaki developed in Japan during the seventeenth century as a cooking technique combining soy sauce, mirin, and sugar to glaze grilled seafood and meats. The term combines teri, describing the reflective luster of caramelized sugars, with yaki, denoting broiling or grilling over direct heat.
A dedicated shop launched the style in Seattle in 1976.
