Mirin

If you can find real mirin - called hon mirin - that’s the one you want to get. Real mirin is low in alcohol and is made from different varieties of rice. Unfortunately, it’s very difficult to find real mirin in the US - your best bet is to visit a sake shop to find one. But if you don’t live near one, I recommend using Kikkoman’s Aji Mirin. It’s less sweet and has a little more depth of flavor than other food store mirin.
