Mirin is a common condiment in Japanese cuisine. The syrupy structure of mirin gives dishes a pleasant shine and the taste is sweet, full and round, with a hint of umami. We also call mirin everyone's friend, because her sweet taste disguises the smells of meat and fish and often brings the flavors together on a plate in a beautiful way. Delicious in combination with other Japanese flavors such as miso, shoyu, tamari, and sesame oil. Mirin has an alcohol percentage of 14% and is also called cooking wine.
