Tasting Notes
Golden in color, Sakura hon mirin releases aromas of pears and white flowers. On the palate, its syrupy, silky texture brings out notes of Japanese plums and honey. This mirin will envelop your mouth and leave you with a long, sweet, umami finish.
Uses
Hon mirin is used in Japanese cuisine to tenderize meat and fish, to sweeten dishes and to create magnificent glazed sauces. Mirin is the secret ingredient for succulent, glossy teriyaki sauces.
