Kikkoman Aji-Mirin



Shopping in the ethnic aisle at Von's, I could only find this Kikkoman Aji-Mirin. Mirin, as an FYI, is a sweetened rice wine or sake but with lower alcohol content. Briefly looking it up, it seems Aji-Mirin is loaded with salt and corn syrup while regular (ahi-mirin) is not.

Here's the ingredient statement of the Kikkoman Aji-Mirin:
glucose syrup, water, alcohol, rice, corn syrup, salt

Turns out I bought the overly-sweetened kind of mirin. I'm now obligated to get some homework done on this stuff.

Aji-mirin available in a 10-oz bottle at Von's for $5.29.
