What is Mirin
Mirin is a type of rice wine that is frequently used in Japanese cooking.
Mirin has a sweet taste and is often used to add flavor to sauces and marinades. It can also be used as a glaze for grilled or roasted meats.
While mirin is sometimes referred to as “rice wine,” it actually contains less alcohol than most wines.
