Mirin is a sweet Japanese rice wine commonly used in many Japanese dishes. It’s made with just three simple ingredients—Koji, sweet rice (Mochi rice), and Shochu (Japanese hard liquor). However, many commercial versions add artificial sweeteners like corn syrup or glucose to speed up the fermentation process. In this workshop, you’ll learn how to make authentic and traditional Mirin at home!

*Since Shochu can be difficult to find at a reasonable price in Canada, we’ll be using vodka as a substitute.
