Mirin is a sweet Japanese rice wine commonly used in cooking, particularly in traditional Japanese cuisine. Made from glutinous rice, distilled spirit, and fermented rice, mirin typically contains alcohol and sugars that enhance its signature sweetness. It serves as a versatile ingredient for marinades, glazes, and sauces, adding depth and umami to dishes. While mirin is low in fat and contains some simple carbohydrates, its sugar content may be a consideration for those monitoring caloric intake or blood sugar levels. Authentic mirin, which is fermented naturally, may contain minimal additives and offer more complex flavors, while commercial versions may include additional sweeteners. Its antioxidant properties, attributed to certain compounds derived from rice fermentation, contribute to its culinary appeal. Though mirin is best enjoyed in moderation, it remains a staple for elevating flavors in healthy, balanced Japanese meals like teriyaki or stir-fried vegetables.
