Yokoi Foods was founded in Kyoto by Master Brewer Kenji Yokoi, who saw modern life creating a gap in authentic Japanese cooking. Busy schedules and dietary restrictions meant people were missing out on the deep, savory flavor (umami) that defines a proper meal. This led to the creation of Nikiri Halal Mirin-Style Seasoning. We spent 18 months sourcing only non-GMO rice and pure spring water, then developed a proprietary 90-day fermentation process to achieve the signature sweetness and glaze without a single drop of alcohol. Every batch is Halal-certified and produced in a Japanese government-designated GMP facility, ensuring purity you can taste. It’s now the top-ranked alcohol-free mirin-style seasoning for home cooks seeking authentic flavor without compromise.

Yokoi Nikiri Halal Mirin-Style Seasoning - Alcohol-Free Japanese Glaze by YOKOI VINEGAR BREWING CO.,LTD is crafted with a carefully selected blend of ingredients designed to replicate the traditional flavor of mirin while adhering to halal standards. The primary components include glucose syrup, which serves as a natural sweetener to provide the characteristic mild sweetness and glossy sheen essential for glazing dishes. Rice vinegar is incorporated to impart a subtle tanginess and depth, enhancing umami notes without the alcohol content found in conventional mirin. Additionally, salt is added to balance the sweetness and amplify overall flavor profiles, while amino acids such as glutamic acid may be included to boost savory qualities and improve mouthfeel. These ingredients work synergistically to offer users a versatile seasoning that can be used for marinating, glazing, or simmering, delivering benefits such as enhanced browning and caramelization in cooked dishes, a rich umami flavor without artificial additives, and suitability for diverse dietary preferences including halal, alcohol-free, and potentially gluten-free diets. The result is an authentic Japanese culinary experience that maintains traditional taste while meeting modern dietary needs.
