Boil eggs: Place eggs in a small pot and add enough water to cover them. Bring it to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 8-10 minutes. Drain the hot water and replace it with cold water to cool the eggs.
Make the sauce: In a pot, mix soy sauce, mirin, sugar, and water. Bring it to a boil until the sugar dissolves, then turn off the heat.
Remove the shells: Peel the eggshells and transfer the eggs into a freezer bag.
Marinate: Pour the sauce into the bag with the eggs and seal the bag, removing excess air. Store it in the refrigerator to marinate for 1-3 hours.
