7 parts japanese rice vinegar (I use Maruchan)
2 parts sesame oil (I use Kadoya)
1 part sugar (adjust, or leave out, according to your tastes)

I don't use as much vinegar, but I do use Mirin (sweetened rice wine) or honey in the place of sugar. Even better with Sriracha.

I adjust the vinegar and sugar quite a bit, depending on what I'm making. I'll also toss in some solids (i.e. minced garlic) if it's going to be marinating for a while. The honey seems like a very nice idea for a substitution, so I'll give that a try.
