For the Miso Glaze
Prepare the Konnyaku: Make lattice-like cuts on the surface of the konnyaku block, then cut it into six pieces. Thread them onto skewers.
Boil the Konnyaku: Bring a pot of water to a boil, add the konnyaku, and boil for 2 minutes. Drain the konnyaku and pat it dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Make the Miso Glaze: Combine the miso paste, sugar, mirin, and sake in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly, about 2-3 minutes.
Serve: Transfer the konnyaku to a serving plate and pour the miso glaze over them.
