Mirin is a sweet Japanese rice wine made for cooking. It adds mild sweetness, shine and umami to teriyaki, simmered dishes, noodle broths and glazes.

What does mirin taste like?

Mirin tastes sweet and mellow with a gentle rice-wine aroma. It is much milder and sweeter than sake or rice vinegar.

What is the difference between mirin and sake?

Mirin is sweet and used mainly for sweetness and glaze, while cooking sake is dry and used to remove odors and add savory depth. Many Japanese recipes use both.

Aji mirin, or mirin-style seasoning, is a sweet cooking seasoning, often lower in alcohol than hon-mirin, made to taste like mirin. Kikkoman Manjo Aji Mirin is a common example sold at Weee!.

What can I substitute for mirin?

A mix of dry sake or white wine with a little sugar is the usual substitute for mirin. Rice vinegar with sugar also works in small amounts, though the flavor is sharper.

Does mirin need to be refrigerated?

Unopened mirin is stored at room temperature away from sunlight, and opened bottles are best kept tightly closed in a cool place or the refrigerator. Check the label for the maker's storage directions.

Must be on my 3rd bottle now- I use it for so many things across all sorts of cuisines (marinating, glazing, adding flavour). Note that this kotteri mirin doesnt have much alcohol and is more sweet-seasoning based unlike aji mirin.

Soy sauce, cooking sake, and vinegar are sold at the nearby supermarket, but for some reason, mirin (sweet rice wine) isn't available. I always buy it here. I appreciate that they deliver it the next day.
