QING mirin fu, a mirin-style sweet rice seasoning in a 1.8 litre bottle, for teriyaki glazes, simmered dishes and rolled omelettes.
QING mirin fu comes in a clear 1.8 litre bottle with a pale yellow cap and a ribbed shoulder, showing the light golden seasoning inside. The cream front label carries a blue nameplate with the 櫻鶴 wordmark, the words みりん風 and 味醂风 (mirin-style) and, in a blue band at the foot, 调味料 (seasoning), framed by line drawings of fish and waves. An English and Arabic import sticker on the side names it Sweet Seasoning Sauce and lists water, sticky rice, rice and lemon, with a net volume of 1.8 L. As general practice, kitchens use a mirin-style seasoning to add gentle sweetness and a glossy finish: reduced with soy sauce for teriyaki, added to the simmering liquid of nimono, beaten into the eggs for tamagoyaki and stirred into noodle dipping sauces.
