Tips:
Mirin (Mirin) A Japanese-style cooking wine that is very similar to rice wine, but sweeter and sweeter. It is used in many Japanese seafood dishes for freshness and fishy. Also sold in the market is Aji-Mirin, an artificial mirin, which is made with sugar and other chemicals to achieve a very similar taste, at a fraction of the price of real mirin. If possible, we recommend the artificially brewed mirin, which is not only healthier, but also has a purer taste. If in the United States, Whole Foods can find it.
