Combine the soy, sake, mirin, sugar and ginger in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 2-3 minutes or until sauce thickens slightly. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
Place the tofu in a single layer in a glass or ceramic dish. Pour over the soy mixture with the sesame oil. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for 4 hours to marinate.
