The Origins of Teriyaki –Japanese-American Classic

The Origins of Teriyaki –Japanese-American Classic
Teriyaki may be a Seattle staple, but its origins go beyond Japan. While traditionally a cooking style in Japan, the dish as we know it today was shaped by Japanese immigrants in Hawaii, blending soy sauce with pineapple juice. This fusion eventually made its way to Seattle, where it became a fast-food favorite. At Nori Teriyaki Mukilteo, we celebrate this history by serving authentic, high-quality teriyaki that honors its rich cultural roots.
