Hakubishi Hon Mirin is an authentic Japanese mirin sauce handcrafted following traditional methods and using the single ingredients of glutinous rice, rice malt, and shochu.
Unlike aji mirin which contains sweeteners and other additives this hon mirin is made by fermenting a combination of the three previously mentioned ingredients; steamed mochi rice, koji (rice malt) and shochu (rice liquor) for 60 days.
During this period, the starch in the rice is broken down, creating natural sugars and amino acids, yielding mirin’s distinctive tangy-sweet flavor.
This hon mirin has a genuine taste and natural sweetness than cannot be found in chemically aged mirin products. In fact, this mirin has such a pure rice flavor that it can also be enjoyed as a beverage if you wish.

- KSKatherine S.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars2/22/26A new level of Mirin
I have typically bought grocery store mirin which I thought was alright because I didn't know better.
Now I know what good mirin is supposed to be. I find myself using it more because it provides depth to dishes that the other brands did not!

Glad to get my hands on some real Mirin. Hard to find any here in Canada, most is the usual with high fructose corn syrup. Real good product.
