Could you recommend a cooking wine brand that you personally use? I'm trying to purchase one online, but there are too many options with different names and I'm quite confused. As for mirin, it is readily available even at local stores in my area.
I using the "Junmai Cooking Sake" from the Mizkan brand! I checked on Amazon, and although Mizkan products are not available, I found similar types of products. Here is the link: amzn.to/41mzZRR
Thank you for your comment. Oh, that's right, Muslims cannot consume alcohol. Although, technically, the alcohol evaporates during the cooking process. Grape juice is not suitable as a substitute for mirin when alcohol cannot be used, as it is likely to alter the taste of Japanese cuisine. The role of mirin is primarily to add sweetness and create a glossy finish. To achieve this glossy finish, alcohol is necessary, making it difficult to completely substitute mirin without using any alcohol. However, even without the gloss, the flavor can still be delicious, so if you’re only adjusting the taste, using sugar or honey as a substitute should be fine.
What a useful cooking hack! Thank you❤
Thank you for your comment! Please share it with those around you as well.
Rice wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar with sugar added works too
Just use sugar and water. Better than most mirin in the market which is mostly fructose.

👍!!! 💗💗
But for Muslims, how can we substitute white wine 😅
Is grape juice is a good alternative?
