Mirin
Hon-Mirin is a sweet rice wine playing a crucial role in Japanese cuisine. It imparts a mild sweetness, gloss, and umami-rich depth to dishes. Hon-Mirin is frequently used in sauces, marinades, glazes, and soups to round off flavours.
Mirin is used in the sample recipes "Sake Sauce" and "Yaki Udon", indicating its role in Asian sauces and stir-fries. It is often combined with soy sauce, sugar, and garlic to create a balanced sweet and savoury flavour base. The combination with rice and mushrooms suggests savoury main courses.
