  • About

A classic Japanese sauce that is exquisite with oysters, delicate shellfish and fish. It will last a long time, and gain complexity over the months.

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp mirin
  • 300 ml (10 fl oz) light soy sauce

Method

Heat mirin in a small pan over gentle heat until bubbling. Combine mirin with soy, vinegar, lemon juice, bonito flakes and konbu and set aside in a cool place for 24 hours. Strain sauce and store in a sterilised jar or bottle.
