Mirin
is an essential condiment used in Japanese cuisine, with
a slightly sweet taste. It is a kind of rice wine similar
to sake, but with a lower alcohol content. In the Edo period,
Mirin was drunk as a sweet sake.
Mirin is used to add a bright touch to broiled fish or to
erase a fish's smell. A small amount used in the place of
sugar and soy sauce often improves a dish. It should not
be used in large amounts, as its flavor is quite strong.
It is sometimes used as a sushi accompaniment.
Mirin is commonly used in Teriyaki sauce.
