用法筆記

Mirin is distinct from sake — sake is a drinking rice wine with higher alcohol content, while mirin is specially made for cooking and has a higher sugar content. Mirin is uncountable in most contexts (some mirin, a splash of mirin), though you may hear a mirin in reference to a brand or type.

常見錯誤

Mirin is a cooking ingredient, not a beverage. Unlike sake, it is not meant to be drunk.
