WHY IT WORKS

• Signature Luster and Gloss: The high natural sugar content creates a brilliant, professional sheen on grilled meats and vegetables, which is the hallmark of authentic teriyaki.

• Umami Enhancement: Derived from fermented rice, it adds a layer of savory depth (umami) that standard sweeteners cannot replicate.

• Odor Neutralization: Effectively masks strong fishy or gamey aromas in seafood and meats, making it an essential component for marinades.

• Structural Integrity: When used in simmering liquids, it helps prevent delicate proteins and vegetables from breaking apart during long cooking processes.

• Balanced Acidity and Sweetness: Provides a mild, rounded sweetness that tames the sharp saltiness of soy sauce and the acidity of rice vinegar.

• High-Volume 60 oz Format: The ergonomic handle and large volume make it ideal for busy commercial kitchens requiring efficiency and cost-effectiveness.

USE CASES

• Professional Sushi Bars: Used to balance the acidity of rice vinegar when seasoning "Shari" (sushi rice), resulting in a grain that is flavorful and perfectly glossy.

• Izakaya-Style Grills: Performs exceptionally well as a finishing glaze for skewered meats, providing a sweet-savory lacquer that caramelizes beautifully over heat.

• Ramen Shops: Acts as a key ingredient in "Motodare" (the concentrated seasoning base), adding complexity and sweetness to pork or chicken-based broths.

• Modern Fusion Bistros: Solves the problem of "flat" flavors in Western-Asian fusion sauces by adding a sophisticated fermented rice profile.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is the difference between Suiji Mirin and Sake? Mirin has a much higher sugar content and a lower alcohol content than Sake. While Sake is often used for its aroma and tenderizing properties, Mirin is primarily used for sweetness and to add a glossy finish.

Is this the same as "Hon-mirin"? Suiji Mirin is a high-quality "mirin-style" seasoning designed for professional culinary use. It provides the same flavor profile and functional benefits (sheen and sweetness) as Hon-mirin but is specifically formulated for the high-heat environment of a commercial kitchen.

Does this product need to be refrigerated after opening? While mirin is shelf-stable due to its sugar content, we recommend storing it in a cool, dark place or a refrigerator to maintain its peak aromatic profile and prevent oxidation.

Can I use this for vegan and vegetarian dishes? Yes, Tsuki Suiji Mirin is 100% plant-based and is a staple in vegan Japanese cooking, particularly for vegetable glazes and dashi-free sauces.

Is it gluten-free? Most mirin seasonings are naturally gluten-free as they are made from rice; however, always check the label for specific additives if you have a strict gluten-free requirement.
