Hinode Hon Mirin Sweet Cooking Rice Wine, 1000 ml

This is great if you like cooking teriyaki. I don’t drive, so being able to order this to the house is very helpful. Good flavour and quality and much cheaper than buying the tiny ones at the supermarket!

Beautiful flavour, full and mild. Be aware that because this contains alcohol, the buyer must receive the product in person and give their date of birth.

Hon-mirin which is relatively cheaper than other available choices in the market. Brewed using Japanese and Thai rice, made in Japan, which satisfies me as there are many made in China poor quality products. As an Asian who cook a lot, I think it does its job in many Japanese cuisines well.

Most people don’t realise that every country has its own way of writing the best before date. In Japan, it’s written as Year/Month/Day, not Day/Month/Year. Think about it — if the label is in Japanese, it obviously follows the Japanese format, not the English one. Anyway, the product itself is excellent! Mirin adds a mild sweetness and koku (deep flavour) to Japanese-style stews. This one works just as proper mirin should. I agree with other reviewers that the packaging can sometimes be a bit poor — I’ve had a few damaged bottles before, but fortunately, none of them leaked.

Mirin is an essential condiment used in traditional Japanese recipes. This bottle represents great value for the volume of product, and when used in conjunction with other Japanese condiments such as cooking sake and soy, helps to make home-cooked Japanese meals taste authentic

Waiting for stock. 日の出is one of my favorite brand from Japan.

I use this in many different dishes and it's great. I will point out there are a lot of confused reviews on here saying the bottles are out of date, the Japanese calendar is in the reverse of the UK one so the ones I have seen pictured have been well in date :)

Ordered this mirin twice. Fantastic value and a good tasting mirin for the money. First bottle arrived fine and had a 2027 best before date. The second bottle has a crushed lid and a best before date of 2 months time. Who’s using a litre of mirin in just 2 months?

やっぱり本物のみりんは「みりん風調味料」とは全くの別物ですね。 心地よい風味が付きますし、臭み消しや食材への浸透具合もバッチリです。 米の炊飯時にも少量入れてあげると美味しく炊けます。

キッチンに一本あるだけで、煮物の仕上がりが劇的に変わりました。 大容量ながら、持ちやすい形状のボトルなので重さを感じず、日々の調理にストレスなく使えます。 煮魚に使ってみると、上品な照りと艶が出て、見た目から美味しさが伝わってきます。 お砂糖だけでは出せない、まろやかで奥深いコクが素材の旨味を引き出し、煮汁まで飲み干したくなるほど。 お肉の臭みを消し、柔らかく仕上げてくれる実力にも驚かされました。 どんな料理の味も優しく、かつ深く整えてくれる、台所の静かな実力者です。 一度使うと手放せない、我が家の味の要となっています。

煮物が好きなのでみりんの消耗が早いです。みりんはいつも本みりんを使うようにしています。素直でまろやかな味に仕上がると思います。

やっぱりみりんは日の出です。 私の下手な煮物でも、おいしくできます(*^^*) これを使い出してから煮物がおいしい

みりん風調味料を使った時とは、料理が出来上がった時の旨味と照りが全然違います。 本みりんを使うと砂糖の量の減らす事ができるので、気持ちですが、糖分が控えめにできている？なんて思っています。 1000mlも入っているとちょっと重いですが、美味しいのでたっぷり使えて良かったです。
