Mirin is a type of rice alcohol used in cooking. It is made with fermented rice, water, salt and sometimes shochu. Mirin is lighter and sweeter than sake.

It gives sweetness and body to sauces and reduces the bitterness or the acidity of a dish.

Traditionally used in Japan during the tea ceremony, matcha is a thin green tea powder made of young tea leaves that have been shadowed several weeks before the harvest. When the tea plant is completely exposed to sunlight, the light beams transform the theanine the plant contains in catechine. Theanine gives the tea its umami flavor while catechine gives it bitterness. In order to prevent the tea to become bitter and to give it a great umami flavor instead, the tea plants are shadowed before harvest. Matcha is one of the richest product in antioxidants. It helps fight against aging signs, fortify the immune system and is largely consumed for its relaxing and energizing effects.
Sake is a Japanese alcoholic drink made by fermentation of rice. It is not distilled and does not exceed 20 percent proof. In Japan, sake is called "nihon shu" to distinguish it from other alcohols, referred as "sake" in Japanese. In the begining, sake was made with two ingredients : rice and water. Rice grains were first steamed and then chewed before being fermented in water. When chewing, the enzymes contained in the saliva transformed the starch of rice. Some centuries later, this chewing process was replaced by the introduction of koji.

Koji is a Japanese ferment created by sowing a substrate with a mushroom called Aspergillus oryzae or Koji-kin. On this substrate, made usually of cereals (rice, soy, barley, etc.), spores produced by Koji-kin are sprinkled. After a few days, a thin white coat reminding of moss, appears on the substrate, it is koji : a living matter ready to be used ! Adding it to cereals, salt, water and using several traditional methods, we can create numerous products such as sake, mirin or miso.
