Salted Mirin (Domestic Shipping Only)

“The jiggling excitement of chewy - gelatinous texture change !”

Mirin is a very delicate and fragile seaweed that can only retain its raw state for a few hours. After harvesting, we salt the Mirin immediately to avoid this degradation.

The most significant characteristic is its texture.

The outer layer of the Mirin pops out a texture reminiscent of grains of citrus fruit pulp, while the inside is jellied and thick. The balance of these textures can be adjusted to suit your dish.

While the popping outer layer of the Mirin reminds you of citrus fruit pulp, the inside is chewy like thick jelly. The balance of these textures can be adjusted to suit your dish. If you want to enjoy the firm texture, remove the salt lightly.

The saltiness will elevate the spice in your dish. If the salt is removed thoroughly, the inside will have a juicy texture. It is similar to using okra and can be embellished in dishes when you want some punchy texture.

Mirin is one of the odorless seaweeds that has a gentle flavor, making it suitable for all kinds of seasonings.

It can be used in a variety of ways, such as marinated in soy sauce or roasted sake. Serve it with enoki mushrooms or noodles to enjoy its multi-layered texture, or combine it with yam to dilate the thickness of the dish. Red algae Mirin melts when it is heated for a long time.

Please be aware when you are thinking of adding it to a hot dish. We recommend you mix it or put it on top at the end like a decoration.
