The sweet-salty base

Most sweet-salty Japanese dishes rest on this trio. It suits fish, meat and root vegetables alike.

As an ingredient

Behavior

Carrying bottles together

Bottles with the same contents can be carried in a stack.

One kaeshi, many ratios

Households and dishes vary the ratio, but satoyama keeps one glaze rather than an item per proportion.

Three bottles in, three out

The soy sauce and mirin bottles go among the ingredients; the empty one that receives the glaze goes in the vessel slot. You get one kaeshi bottle out and two empties left behind in the ingredient slots — the glass count never changes.

In the real world

Soy sauce, sugar and mirin combine into the glaze behind teriyaki, rice bowls, simmered dishes and tsukudani. The ratio hovers around 1:1:1 and shifts by dish and region.

Differences in game

Satoyama keeps one kaeshi rather than modelling ratios or resting times.
