Gather all the ingredients.
Cut 2 Tokyo negi (naga negi; long green onion) into small pieces.
In a medium saucepan or frying pan, add 1 Tbsp toasted sesame oil and then the minced negi.
Sauté the negi until wilted.
Then, add all the seasonings to the pan: 5 Tbsp miso, 2 Tbsp sugar, 2 Tbsp mirin, 2 Tbsp sake, and ½ tsp soy sauce.
Mix well and bring it to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat and continue to simmer until the sauce thickens.
When you can see the trail at the bottom of the pan when you draw a line with a spatula, it’s done. Transfer the sauce to a sterilized jar.
You can keep this sauce for up to 1 week in the fridge and 2 months in the freezer.
Keep in a sterilized jar in the refrigerator for up to one week or freeze for up to two months; no reheating needed if served cold or at room temperature.
