    Just a heads up: when cooking, not all alcohol evaporates. A lot of it stays. I don’t remember the percentage but there are articles online.

      Good point. Iirc, it’s about 10% after a good reduction. My cooking mirin is 8% by volume, and you wouldn’t want to use much or risk overpowering the sauce, so it’s a pretty miniscule amount.

      None the less, people who avoid it for religious reasons or medical reasons should keep it in mind.
