CERES ORGANICS Mirin Rice Wine Sauce 250ml

Bring the authentic art of Japanese kaiseki cooking into your kitchen with Ceres Organics Mirin Rice Wine Sauce. A "true mirin," this premium seasoning is crafted traditionally in Japan using labour-intensive fermentation methods that date back to the pre-industrial era. Unlike many commercial versions, this mirin is free from artificial additives, preservatives, or refined sugars, relying instead on the natural sweetness developed during the brewing of organic sweet rice and koji. Its rich, golden profile adds a sophisticated depth and professional finish to both Asian and Western dishes.

Product Details & Benefits

• Traditionally Brewed in Japan: Created through slow, natural fermentation to ensure a complex flavor profile that "quick-brewed" mirins cannot replicate.
• Naturally Sweet & Rich: The sweetness is a result of the organic rice fermentation process, providing a clean, balanced taste without the need for added sugar or corn syrup.
• Versatile Culinary Essential: Ideal for deglazing pans, creating glossy glazes for seafood, and balancing the saltiness of soy-based sauces.
• Clean Label: Certified Organic and non-GMO, containing only four simple, high-quality ingredients.
• Flavour Enhancer: Accentuates milder ingredients while providing a mellowing balance to stronger, bolder flavours in stir-fries and marinades.

How to Use

Mirin is a versatile liquid seasoning that adds a beautiful "sheen" and balanced sweetness to your cooking:

• Classic Glazes: Combine with Tamari or Soy Sauce and ginger to create a traditional Teriyaki glaze for salmon, chicken, or tofu.
• Balanced Stir-Fries: Add a splash toward the end of cooking to harmonize the flavours and add a subtle sweetness to vegetables and noodles.
• Dipping Sauces: Mix into gyoza or tempura dipping sauces for a more authentic, well-rounded taste.
• Elevated Desserts: Surprisingly effective in fruity desserts or poached pears, where its rice-wine complexity adds a unique botanical twist.
• Seafood Secret: Use in marinades to help firm up the texture of fish and mask any overly "fishy" aromas.
