Kong Yen Mirin (Wei Lin) 500ml

The Secret to Sweet, Savoury, and Glossy Perfection

Kong Yen Mirin (also known as Wei Lin) is a fundamental Japanese-style seasoning that brings a delicate sweetness, a complex depth of flavour, and a beautiful glossy finish to a wide range of dishes. Brewed from glutinous rice, it is a sweet rice wine that acts as a magical balancing agent in the kitchen.

Unlike sugar, Mirin adds a rounded, mellow sweetness without being cloying. Its mild alcoholic content helps tenderize proteins and neutralize fishy or gamey odours. A splash of Kong Yen Mirin is the secret behind the lustrous glaze on perfect teriyaki chicken, the balanced sweetness in sukiyaki broth, and the deep, umami-rich base of many noodle sauces.
