In a small saucepan, combine soy sauce, mirin, sugar and sake (if using) and bring to a boil over medium-high, stirring until the sugar dissolves, 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly and a layer of caramel-colored foam appears on the surface, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow the sauce to cool to room temperature before using. (The sauce will continue to thicken as it sits.)
Once cooled, transfer the sauce to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Stir to mix before using.
