Aizakura Hon Mirin Natural Cultivation Rice 3 Year Aged 300ml 593 g

ThisﾂAizakura Hon Mirin Natural Cultivation Rice 3 Year Aged 300mlﾂis crafted using the same method as Aizakura, but with glutinous rice and rice malt exclusively sourced from naturally cultivated rice grown in Hekinan City. Aged for three years, it offers a clean sweetness, in contrast to the more robust sweetness of the "Aizakura 3-Year Aged Mirin." Its lighter color makes it ideal for dishes and desserts where the appearance of ingredients is key. Despite its clean taste, the depth and richness that comes from aging is still very present. It窶冱 a versatile mirin, delicious for cooking or drinking.

Though typically associated with Japanese cuisine, this mirin is also great in beverages and desserts. It can be enjoyed as a sweet sake or used as a healthy sweetener in drinks.

For example, it pairs well with a spice-filled chai, where its clean sweetness enhances the spices without overpowering them, creating a rich and layered flavor.

It窶冱 also excellent for jam-making, giving a different sweetness than sugar, complementing berries and citrus fruits alike.

In traditional cooking, mirin not only adds sweetness but also helps remove fishy odors and prevents ingredients from breaking apart during cooking.

The natural cultivation of rice, without pesticides or chemicals, is eco-friendly and sustainable. Both the glutinous rice and rice malt used in this mirin come from carefully grown rice by Hekinan farmers, ensuring a safe and high-quality product.
