Mirin
Mirin is a sweet Japanese cooking rice wine used to add gloss and mild sweetness to sauces, glazes and simmered dishes in Japanese cuisine. It is notably sweet — containing about 42g of sugar per 100g — and is used in relatively small amounts to balance savory flavors. Nutritionally it contributes minimal protein, fat or fiber and only trace minerals, so it functions mainly as a flavoring rather than a nutrient source. Because it is sugar-forward, use is best kept modest; when you want the same sweet-savory effect with less added sugar, cookbooks often recommend diluting with rice vinegar or substituting a splash of sake plus a touch of sweetener.
