What is Salted Mirin?

Kikkoman® Salted Mirin is a sweet, salted cooking seasoning with natural fermentation notes.

As a foundational element of traditional Japanese cuisine, it brings a gentle sweetness, appetizing shine, and flavor complexity. Essential for crafting scratch-made teriyaki, it rounds out harsh acidity and saltiness. Best for added flavor in Japanese cuisine.
