Japanese deserts tends to be naturally sweetened (bean paste, sweet potato, etc.), so they sometimes go on overboard with sweet sauces for main dishes (nikujaga, sukiyaki, kurosubuta etc.) One way to counteract that is to up the acid (use more vinegar) and remove sugars (switch rice vinegar for sweet/sushi vinegar).

I that said, I have a bit of a sweet tooth, so my preferred method is to drink a really dry sake with the meal, SV +4 or more, to cut the sweetness.
