RICE WINE FOR COOKING HON MIRIN (20LT)

Mirin is a type of sweet rice wine popular in Japanese cuisine with 13% alcoholic volume. It is produced in a similar manner to sake, but using glutinous rice (rather than polished sake rice) in the mash. The difference of grain in the mash mixture (moromi) results in less of the natural sugars converting to alcohol. This produces a lower alcohol content and a higher sugar content, creating a sweet-tasting rice wine, with a slight acidity. Known for its mellow sweetness and subtle flavour, and it is often used in marinades, sauces, dressings, and glazes for meat, fish, and vegetables. Gluten-free.
