Looking for the real thing for drinking, not the salty cooking version. Assuming a liquor store with a decent sake collection would have it?
Thank you! |

Right, but aren't those just cooking wines (aka diluted wine with a bunch of salt added)?
Like, Safeway might have "red cooking wine" but it's not something I'm going to serve in a glass with dinner. I'm looking for good drinking mirin. |

| Liquor store like MacArthur Beverage or Calvert Woodley? Call them. |

| Would probably be very hard to find here I’m guessing. Even in Japan, it’s not enjoyed as a drink in this era. It’s for cooking. |

PP sorry - you want to drink it. Not Whole Foods. Maybe call Hana Market? https://jaswdc.org/hana-market/ |
