Kankyo Shuzo's Old Fashioned Mukashi Jikomi Mirin is a true culinary treasure that takes your dishes to the next level
This mirin is unlike any other. It's not just a sweet touch; it's an aromatic masterpiece. Imagine sweet notes of cocoa, caramel, honey, walnut, prune, maple, and candied dried fruits like apricot and prune. You'll even detect hints of old dark rum, a touch of coffee, and fresh hazelnut, all leading to a subtle, smoky finish.
But what sets the Mukashi Jikomi Mirin apart is the use of traditional methods. While many mirins use sugar syrup to speed up the process, Kankyo Shuzo take their time to craft this mirin, aging it for over 2 years. The result? A natural, pure flavour and syrupy texture with notes of maple, agave, mocha, and even a hint of vanilla.
Perfectly paired with a variety of dishes, this mirin is exceptionally versatile. Use it to deglaze salmon or prawns. Try it as a glaze for quail, squab, or duck breast. It elevates the flavors of parsnips, sweet potatoes, grapes, carrots, pumpkin, and butternut squash to new heights.
