Organic Japanese Mikawa Sweet Rice Mirin 150ml

Bring authentic Japanese depth and gentle sweetness to your cooking with Clearspring Organic Japanese Mikawa Sweet Rice Mirin—a traditionally crafted mirin from the Mikawa region, widely regarded as producing some of the finest mirin in Japan.

Made using sweet rice (rather than other starches) and a natural koji fermentation process, this mirin is carefully aged for nine months to develop its rich, rounded flavour. Unlike many modern mirins that rely on added sugar and preservatives, Clearspring’s version is naturally fermented and made with no artificial additives or refined sugars.

Perfect for elevating sauces, marinades, glazes, and stir-fries, this mirin adds shine, balance, and that unmistakable umami warmth found in classic Japanese home cooking.
