I just write the word down (kanji included if my tutor has taught me the appropriate kanjis) and review in Anki – both English-Japanese and Japanese-English.
I have a book with all of the words written down, for English-Japanese I hide the word written in Japanese and just use the English word to help me remember. I must have written the word correctly with the kanji and able to pronounce it correctly for me to review Japanese-English into Anki.
Mind you I always jumble it up and space it out so it’s not just the pattern I’m getting familiar with.

You have to find whatever works for you, really.
