Mirin is a Japanese cooking must-have. I call it one of the "Holy Trinity of Japanese cooking", along with cooking sake and soy sauce. Mirin is a sweet sake but it is meant for cooking, not drinking. 

This is a hon-mirin (hon = real). Various mirin out there can have additional ingredients such as salt, sugar, or even corn syrup. Kikkoman's hon mirin is simply sake made from rice, yeast, koji, and water where they arrest fermentation early to maintain its natural sweetness. 

Mirin goes into sauces, marinades, soups, glazes, desserts, and so much more. If you were looking at pantry essentials to be able to cook Japanese food at home, start with mirin. (Along with soy sauce and cooking sake.) At home, we go through a lot of it, using it in all sorts of Japanese recipes.
