Put the chicken in a container. Spread half of the sake lees mixture (from Cucumber Pickled in Sake Lees) over one side of the chicken.

comment:
Sake lees mixture, which contains a lot of umami and nutrition, soaks into the chicken and makes it very delicious. Please be careful when cooking as the sake lees is easy to burn.
