In a bowl, mix together soy sauce, mirin, sugar, sake, garlic, and ginger to make the marinade.
Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, making sure they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight.

Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the soaked bamboo skewers, alternating with green onion pieces.
