Mirin

[Anonymous No.19681494]

What to use when I can not get Mirin? Simply not carried by asian markets here because the law forbids them selling alcohol over 5.5 abv and liquor store obviously doesn't have it.

Can't be arsed to try to order online just because I want to try a small amount of it in frying chicken. Can I use a very mild white wine?

mirin is very sweet and mild, it really isn't anything like regular wine

I don't even know what it is supposed to taste like

It's very simple, just put shochu, glutinous rice, and koji in a jar and let it sit a few months. If you can't get shochu just use vodka or something. It doesn't even produce gasses so you don't need a vent or something either just seal it up. Failing that if you can order eden foods products you can get their mirin it's got salt added though.

takara usa or just aji mirin from kikkoman
otherwise you gotta go to Japan for the "Hon" kind. ("Hon" means "True" in Japanese btw :3)
after you suffuse your palate with these for long enough you can make your own like a true "Nihongo-jin" ~

There isn't an asian supermarket on earth that doesn't have mirin. Look harder, it's there.

most "mirin" sold here is rice vinegar, sugar and water. the real stuff is rare and expensive.

[Anonymous No.19683170]

Pretty sure this stuff isn't considered alcoholic beverage so it shouldn't fall under liquor laws. Sure someone is going to try, but the stuff is way too overpowering to just sit around and sip or even shoot. It's the same with vanilla extract. It's usually like 30-40% alcohol but anyone can buy it.
Where do you live?

This, I use a little rice vinegar with a small pinch of sugar since honestly, mirin is already a little too sweet. It just works.

>when I can not get Mirin?
you can literally get it at your normal supermarket, you dont even need to go to asian supermarkets anymore unless you're looking for really obscure shit

[Anonymous No.19686848]

Use sherry instead of mirin. Also, use google instead of 4chan for incredibly basic questions like this.
