Key Features:
Odor Removal：The fishy compounds (trimethylamine oxide) and gamey odors in meat dissolve in ethanol and are carried away during heating, effectively eliminating unwanted smells.
Flavor Enhancement：The ester and alcohol aromas of the wine blend harmoniously with dishes. During heating, the evaporating ethanol also releases the inherent fragrance of ingredients, making the dish more aromatic.
Umami & Tenderizing：Rich in 21 amino acids (including 8 essential ones), polysaccharides, and vitamins, it adds umami and penetrates food tissues, making meat more tender and succulent.
Traditional Brewing：Follows the traditional winter brewing process, including soaking, steaming, fermentation, and aging. The fermentation period can last over 80 days, and the wine is aged to achieve its mellow aroma.
Quality Standards：Premium versions emphasize "0 additives" – no artificial colors, added alcohol, or preservatives – made from pure grain fermentation.
Applications:
Braised and stewed meat and fish dishes
Marinating meat and seafood to remove odors
Steamed seafood and stir-fries for umami enhancement
Cold dishes like "drunken chicken" and "drunken shrimp"
