Description

Mirin is a sweet rice wine that plays an important role in Japanese cuisine. It contains less alcohol and more sugar than sake, giving dishes a unique sweet-umami flavor. Mirin is a key ingredient in teriyaki sauce and is used in popular Japanese dishes such as sukiyaki, ramen, and tempura.

This ingredient not only enhances the flavor of fried or baked fish, but also helps neutralize its fishy smell. Mirin is often used as a substitute for sugar and soy sauce in recipes. It is sometimes served on its own with sushi, adding a touch of sophistication to the dish.

Mirin is also an ingredient in many other sauces, such as:

• Unagi Kabayaki Sauce (for grilled eel): mirin, soy sauce, sake, sugar, and (optional) fish bone.
• Mirin Sauce: soy sauce, dashi, mirin, and sake in a ratio of 10:2:1:1.
• Sushi su (vinegar for sushi with rice): rice vinegar, sugar and mirin sauce.
• Teriyaki sauce.

Mirin is not just an ingredient, but a real assistant in creating authentic and delicious Japanese dishes.
