Japanese Mirin

Mizkan Honteri Mirin Sweet Seasoning is a classic Japanese-style sweet seasoning used to bring balance, depth and a subtle glaze to a wide range of dishes. With its gentle sweetness and light syrupy consistency, it enhances both savoury and sweet recipes without overpowering other flavours.

Often used in Japanese cooking, mirin adds a mild sweetness and helps create a glossy finish, particularly in sauces and marinades. It blends easily with ingredients such as soy sauce, stock and sugar, making it a reliable base for everything from stir-fries to braised dishes.

Its smooth texture and balanced flavour make it a useful addition for everyday cooking, especially when building sauces that need a touch of sweetness and shine.

Key Features:

  • 275ml bottle of sweet mirin-style seasoning.
  • Produced by Mizkan, a well-known Japanese brand.
  • Lightly sweet with a smooth, syrup-like consistency.
  • Adds gloss and depth to sauces and marinades.
  • Easy to blend with soy sauce and other seasonings.
  • Suitable for both cooking and finishing dishes.
  • Convenient size for regular kitchen use.

Recipe Inspiration:

  • Teriyaki Sauce: Combine mirin with soy sauce and sugar, then simmer until slightly thickened to create a glossy, well-balanced sauce for meat or vegetables.
  • Japanese Stir-Fried Vegetables: Add a splash of mirin towards the end of cooking to bring a subtle sweetness and shine to mixed vegetables.
  • Glazed Salmon: Brush salmon with a mixture of mirin and soy sauce, then cook until the surface becomes lightly caramelised and glossy.
  • Braised Chicken with Soy and Mirin: Simmer chicken gently in a sauce of mirin, soy sauce and stock to create a rich, savoury dish with a hint of sweetness.

What is the difference between mirin and cooking wine?

Mirin is sweeter and less acidic than most cooking wines, which makes it better suited to balancing salty ingredients like soy sauce and creating a rounded flavour.

Can mirin be used in non-Japanese dishes?

Yes, it can be used in a variety of recipes where a touch of sweetness is needed, such as marinades, dressings or even certain Western sauces.

Does mirin help with caramelisation?

Yes, the natural sugars in mirin help create a light glaze on foods when heated, giving dishes a slightly glossy and appetising finish.
