Response about mirin Hello gentlemen, regarding mirin, it is a sweet seasoning sauce. On my bottle, the first ingredient is corn syrup and my mirin is made in the U.S.A. I do not have any sake or rice wine in the listed ingredients. There might be slight differences, but it is definitely a sweet sauce with a bit of vinegar. My suggestion: Season to your taste; you can always add extra sake if you desire. Enjoy your meal!

Yakitori Hello, olivier. It must be hard to be alone against the rest of the world! Mirin is a rice wine, not a vinegar. According to Wikipedia, online stores that sell Asian products, etc. where everything is explained in detail, including different recipes for making it yourself (provided you have the ingredients... which can be found on those same online stores, of course).
