FAQ
- Can I warm Mirin before measuring a tablespoon?
- Slightly, yes — it reduces clinging and fills the spoon cleaner. Do not warm beyond what the recipe tolerates.
- Can I substitute Mirin with a thinner spread 1:1 by weight?
- The gram count works but rheology differs — a thinner spread flows into gaps you scraped flat, so downstream mixing or layering may behave differently.
