Japanese Mirin

Takara Hon Mirin Rice Wine 300ml is a classic Japanese sweet rice wine used to add gentle sweetness, savoury depth and a glossy finish to everyday cooking. It is the ingredient that helps teriyaki sauce taste properly balanced, makes yakitori and grilled meats caramelise nicely, and gives simmered dishes a richer, rounder flavour without tasting sugary. A small splash goes a long way in marinades, glazes and dipping sauces, and it is also useful in Japanese dressings and sushi rice seasoning when you want that authentic restaurant style sheen and mild sweetness.

Key Features:

  • Hon mirin style sweet seasoning with 13.6% alcohol by volume.
  • Made with water, glutinous rice, rice koji, distilled alcohol and glucose syrup.
  • Adds shine to glazes and sauces for grilled and roasted dishes.
  • Ideal for teriyaki, yakitori, simmered dishes and Japanese style dressings.
  • Size: 330ml

Recipe Inspiration:

  • Chicken teriyaki with a sticky glaze, using mirin with soy sauce and ginger for a glossy finish.
  • Salmon miso mirin marinade, then oven roast or pan sear for a savoury sweet crust.
  • Japanese cucumber salad dressing with mirin, rice vinegar and sesame for a clean, balanced tang.
  • Sushi rice seasoning where mirin helps soften the sharpness and rounds out the flavour.

What is the difference between hon mirin and mirin style seasoning?

Hon mirin is traditionally brewed from rice and koji and contains alcohol, which contributes to its flavour and how it performs in cooking. Some mirin style seasonings are lower alcohol or alcohol free and can taste simpler, so hon mirin is often preferred when you want a more authentic Japanese result.

Does Takara Hon Mirin contain alcohol?

Yes, this product is listed at 13.6 percent alcohol by volume. In most cooked dishes the alcohol reduces during heating, leaving the sweet, rounded flavour and shine that mirin is known for.

How do you use mirin to make sauces taste less salty?

Mirin adds sweetness and a mellow rice note, which can balance salty ingredients like soy sauce and miso. If a sauce tastes sharp or overly salty, a small amount of mirin can help round it out, then you can finish with acidity like citrus or vinegar if needed.
