Tokyo bartender revives a 19th-century cocktail ingredient
The unsung hero of traditional Japanese cuisine is mirin, a deliciously sweet liquor made from sticky rice. Mirin is an essential cooking ingredient, used to balance the salty sharpness of soy sauce and to add luster to glazes. But prior to becoming a common fixture in the kitchen, the sugary beverage was prized as a luxurious tipple during the Edo Period (1603-1868), when it was imbibed at festivals and drunk as a health tonic. The drink grew in popularity as brewing techniques advanced in the 1800s, but was eventually eclipsed by sake — and later beer — as Japan's alcohol of choice.
