Asian-style BBQ porkchops

This recipe calls for sake or mirin. I found mirin in the Asian aisle of my local grocery.

Ingredients:
2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon dark sesame oil
1 tablespoon pineapple juice
2 teaspoons minced fresh garlic
1 1/2 teaspoons sake (or mirin)
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
4 (4 ounce) pork chops (about 1/2 inch thick)
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon sesame seeds, toasted

Directions:

• Combine first eight ingredients in a zip-lock bag; add pork and seal. Marinate at room temperature for 25 minutes.
• Heat grill pan over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray.
• Remove pork from bag, reserving marinade. Sprinkle pork with salt. Cook pork for 3-5 minutes per side, or until done.
• Pour reserved marinade in small sauce pan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 2 minutes until thickened.
• Brush pork with reduced marinade; sprinkle with seasame seeds.
