Mirin

Adding gloss and a mellow sweetness to your cooking. Hekinan City is the birthplace of authentic Mikawa Mirin. In 1772, the founder of Kokonube Mirin, who was then a shipping wholesaler, recognized that the Mikawa region was suitable for mirin production and began brewing. Eventually, eel and soba restaurants praised its quality, calling it "Mikawa Mirin," and it became widely enjoyed. This authentic mirin, carefully brewed using only local Mikawa glutinous rice, rice koji, and authentic shochu, carries the flavor passed down by Japan's oldest mirin brewery. With its elegant sweetness and beautiful gloss, using it in sauces for simmered dishes or kabayaki (grilled eel) adds significant depth to your cooking. It is a treasure of Hekinan's food culture that has long been loved by chefs across the country.
