Sweet Cooking Alcohol

Sweet Cooking Alcohol
A sweet, syrupy liquid, mirin is one of Japan's principal condiments. It has an alcohol content of about 13-14%, which is often burnt off during cooking. Mirin has a subtle natural sweetness, and its balanced flavour make it a very versatile condiment. Mirin is used for dishes such as nimono (simmered dishes), for marinating and glazing, and in teriyaki sauce. As well as hon mirin or 'real mirin', cheaper mirin style condiments with salt or other ingredients added, and generally less alcohol, are also available.

Founded over a century ago, King Brewing still employs traditional brewing methods to produce its high-quality Hinode Hon-mirin from glutinous rice. Allowed to ferment for two months, this mirin develops a distinctive mellow sweetness, striking fragrance and beautiful amber colour. The alcohol content of the mirin (13.5-14.5%) masks fish and meat odours while at the same time bringing out their flavour to the full. The company has met the IS0 9001 quality management system standard, and prides itself on its stringent attention to product safety.
