Homemade Teriyaki Sauce pouring from a bottle

I have always used store bought teriyaki sauce. Never thought anything about it until we ran out. I decided to make it ourselves and wouldn't you know it....super easy and super delicious!

A tall glass bottle partially filled with a dark brown sauce.

This teriyaki sauce can become really salty tasting. Here are my tips to avoid that over salty taste:  Use a low sodium soy sauce and don't boil the mixture. Just bring to a simmer and then remove from heat. If it's too salty, add ¼ cup additional water and taste.
