For those who wanted to know more why Sushi Jiro is pork free as they are using mirin for some of their food. We messaged Sushi Jiro and they replied as below:

Hi, currently, there are 3 items which contain a very small amount of mirin or cooking sake:

* Mentaimayo Sauce (items with "Mentai" description),

* Shoyu Ramen Soup, and

* Miso Ramen Soup.

We are working on recipe without mirin or cooking sake, and we hope to achieve this by June this year.

Thank you very much 😃

What is mirin and why it is not HALAL? Mirin is a type of rice wine and a common ingredient in Japanese cuisine. It is similar to sake but with lower alcohol content and higher sugar content.
