Preparation

In a large bowl, combine the brown sugar, soy sauce, sake, ginger, garlic, sesame seeds, toasted sesame oil, green onions and lime juice.
Whisk well to completely dissolve the brown sugar.
Separate the marinade into two portions: half to marinate the meat (to be discarded after use), half reserved in the fridge in an airtight Mason jar for brushing during cooking and drizzling at serving.
