Recipes using mirin
February 08, 2026
Mirin is a sweet Japanese cooking wine made from rice. It adds a subtle sweetness and depth of flavor to sauces, glazes, and marinades. Essential for authentic teriyaki and spam musubi glazes, mirin balances the saltiness of soy sauce and helps create that signature caramelized finish on grilled proteins. Kikkoman Aji Mirin is a traditional Japanese seasoning that provides authentic flavor and mild sweetness to dishes.
