Ingredients (Serves 2):

• Salted/Dry Mirin (before salt removal/before watering) 100g/15g
• Lemon juice... 1/2 pieces
• Lemon slice...As many as you like(slice of 1/6 to 1/8 size)

How to:

1. For Salted mirin, rinse it twice, then soak it in water for about 4 minutes to desalt it. Drain well in a sieve, then pat dry with paper towels. If you're using dried mirin, soak it in water for about 8 minutes.
2. Pour plenty of lemon juice over the mirin to soak it through. (If you don't have fresh lemon, store-bought juice works fine, but it's best if you can include some lemon peel in the mix.
3. Scatter thinly sliced lemon wedges over the mirin mixture, and you're done!
