Sauce Teriyaki, Prête à Servir : conversion grammes vers tasses
Ready-to-serve teriyaki sauce is a Japanese-origin condiment built on a base of soy sauce, sugar (often mirin or corn syrup), and sake or vinegar. Its density of 1.217 g/ml — about 22% heavier than water — is driven primarily by its high dissolved sugar content. A tablespoon weighs approximately 18 g (vs. ~14.8 g for water); a cup weighs approximately 288 g. This weight difference is significant in marinades and glazes where recipes specify tablespoons: undershooting by volume still undershoots by weight. Used as a marinade for chicken, salmon, beef, and tofu; as a stir-fry sauce; and as a finishing glaze for grilled proteins.

Questions fréquentes
- Why is teriyaki sauce so much heavier than water per tablespoon?
- Teriyaki sauce (1.217 g/ml) contains a substantial amount of dissolved sugar — typically 8–12 g per tablespoon depending on brand. Sugar (sucrose) has a density of approximately 1.59 g/ml, and at high concentrations it significantly raises the overall density of the sauce. Soy sauce also contributes dissolved sodium chloride, further raising density above water.
- How many grams is 2 tablespoons of teriyaki sauce?
- At 1.217 g/ml, two tablespoons (29.6 ml) of teriyaki sauce weigh approximately 36 g. This is about 6 g more than two tablespoons of water. For marinade recipes specified by weight, use 36 g rather than assuming the standard 2-tablespoon = 30 g water conversion.
- Does homemade teriyaki sauce have the same gram weight as bottled?
- Not necessarily. The density depends heavily on the sugar-to-soy ratio. A thinner homemade teriyaki (more soy, less sugar) may be closer to 1.10–1.15 g/ml; a very sweet reduction can exceed 1.30 g/ml. The USDA value (1.217 g/ml) reflects a typical ready-to-serve commercial formulation. For homemade, measure by weight at the time of use.
