Method

To soften the sake kasu, chop it into small pieces, add the measured water and mix well.
To make the marinade, mix the softened sake kasu with a quarter of its total weight in sugar, plus an equal quarter measure of sake or mirin. Mix well until completely combined to form a thick paste. The marinade is ready to be used.
