Japanese Mirin Hon Mirin, 300 ml · Sakura

Kokonoe Mikawa Sakura is a true Japanese mirin treasure – not a “mirin-flavored seasoning,” but a traditional mirin that brings natural sweetness, depth, and a delicate luster to the kitchen.

Unlike sugar, which primarily adds sweetness, mirin also adds depth, umami, a delicate aroma of rice and koji, and a natural sheen to dishes, enriching sauces and stews.

Mirin is made from glutinous rice, koji rice, and rice shochu, through a slow and meticulous process that develops a rounded sweetness and a more complex flavor. It is especially suitable for Japanese cooking: teriyaki sauce, marinades for fish and chicken, soy-based dishes, glazed vegetables, tofu, stir-fries, noodles, and homemade sauces.

It is one of the most important basic ingredients in Japanese cuisine because it balances saltiness, softens strong flavors, adds body to sauces, and gives a dish a brilliant and precise finish. A 300ml bottle is suitable for those who want to work at home with real mirin and upgrade even simple dishes with a few correct spoonfuls.

Alcohol: 13.5%.
