BambinA Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 What's kind of rice wine you want (TH, CH or JP)? I am in the Netherlands. We have not that many Asian shops comparing to the UK. I think you just go to the Asian shop there and you will find one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BambinA Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Just googled where Thais buy the chinese rice wine (shaoxing ), resulting in just supermarkets. They bought it from in Food land, Tesco Lotus, Villa, Big C, Carrefour etc. (even Makro) . This chinise rice wine will be at the liquor section of aforementioned supermarkets.

tutsiwarrior Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 (edited) the jap rice wine/vinegar is called mirin and is a 'must have' for many dishes either for cooking or to prepare dipping sauces; really can't prepare tempura without it...seems to me that western supermarkets in BKK must stock it...

MaxwellsDemon Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Mirin is definitely available here and iirc not too expensive. My mom used to use it all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
