A single mirin can make a big difference in a dish. When your homemade food tastes even better, you feel joy, smile more, and it creates an opportunity to brighten your life. Mirin is also a secret ingredient of happiness, created by the sweetness of rice. Adding shine and luster Multiple sweet components extracted from rice combine with water when heated to create a film, giving the dish a shine and luster that makes it shine. Bringing out richness and flavor When alcohol molecules penetrate into the tissues of ingredients, they act to easily attract other molecules, allowing the flavor to penetrate better. In addition, the heat of cooking causes the alcohol to evaporate, leaving behind the amino acids that give the umami flavor, giving the food a rich, delicious finish. Eliminates odors In addition to the deodorizing effects of the ingredients unique to mirin, which are the result of saccharification and aging, when the alcohol in mirin evaporates, it evaporates along with the odorous ingredients in the ingredients. Prevents food from falling apart When the alcohol penetrates the ingredients, it tightens the tissue, preventing the food from falling apart during cooking. It also does not harden easily even when cooled, making it ideal for making side dishes for bento boxes. Elegant and mellow sweetness While sugar contains only one type of sweet ingredient, sucrose, Sanshu Mikawa Mirin, which is made by condensing the sweetness of glutinous rice, contains various sugars such as glucose and oligosaccharides, giving dishes a deep sweetness.

We also manufacture koji and shochu in-house to keep them in the best condition for mirin brewing. 2. Traditional brewing method We prepare our own glutinous rice, rice koji, and rice shochu to make "moromi". It takes about three months to brew, and another two years to mature. At Kadoya Bunjiro Shoten, we take our time to preserve the traditional taste of Mikawa mirin without heating it or other processes. Mirin has a long history, and if you look into various documents, you will find that mirin (mirin) was made during the Sengoku period. While many things have changed with the times, Kadoya Bunjiro Shoten has remained true to its traditional brewing methods. Since its founding in 1910, the store has continued to make "Sanshu Mikawa Mirin" by sticking to the ancient methods of brewing and aging.
