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 about the traditional fermentation and aging process behind authentic Mirin, and how to incorporate its deep, naturally sweet flavour into everyday cooking.
*Since Shochu can be difficult to find at a reasonable price in Canada, we’ll be using vodka as a substitute.
Mirin samples and light snacks will be provided.
