Soy Braised Lotus Root

Humans must have really been hungry to start eating these roots.  I mean they’re not exactly the most attractive plant and unless properly prepared taste horrible. 300 gm Lotus Root, 2 Tbsp Vinegar, 1/2 cup Sake, 1 cup Soy Sauce, 2 Tbsp Hondashi, 3 Tbsp Corn Syrup, and 3 Tbsp Sesame Seeds.
