Mirin - basic ingredient of teryaki and various Japanese recipes

Mirin - Grundbestandteil von Teryaki und div. japanischen Rezepten

Dear Migros

You used to have mirin in your range. However, the essential "spice" or rice liqueur product is no longer available. That's annoying, as I cook a lot of Japanese food and you are otherwise quite well equipped in terms of sushi and co.
Are there any reasons why you have removed mirin from your range?
Is it because it contains alcohol? It's not a drink though...

Hello @chribru, I'm sorry, we can no longer offer you the Saitaku Mirin rice wine. Unfortunately, demand was too low, which is why we have removed this rice wine from our range. As our shelf space is limited, it is our duty to constantly review the selection and its appeal and make adjustments where necessary. I hope you will find an equivalent alternative in our range. Best regards, Sina

The old song.... is too little sold...
If there's nothing in the shelf and the employees are too lazy to get it from the warehouse, it's just not sold.
I was in the MMM store today, Soja Sausen to bathe in but otherwise ??? Even items that are advertised on the internet, NOTHING.
No Hoi Sin, no quality sesame oil, only strained and mixed. No rice wine, no decent oyster sauce....
Asia is much bigger than Thailand. I cook in 5 directions of Chinese cuisine and have to get my ingredients from abroad, and some Joistik brand items are classified as rather harmful to health.
So please offer reasonable items at reasonable prices and the store will boom.

Hello Gongpokai, I'm sorry that you're missing products in our stores. Perhaps we can bring one or two products to your store - if we already have them in our range. Please let me know your preferred store. Best regards, Sina

Dear Migros, If the Saitaku Mirin was sold too little, then it is because it is completely overpriced because it probably benefits from its market monopoly in this country. Mirin usually costs CHF 8 to 9 per liter. Swiss retailers sell it in perfume bottle units for the equivalent of CHF 30 per liter.
