Hinode Sweet Mirin

Mirin rice wine has a sweet, tangy flavor with a slight hint of acidity that helps lift the taste profile of many dishes, Japanese or otherwise. The sweetness comes from the sugar and alcohol content which helps to tenderize meat and add a glossy finish to sauces and glazes. Mirin can be used in salads & marinades to balance salty or acidic ingredients, such as soy sauce, vinegar, or citrus juice, to create a well-rounded flavor profile.
