If you can only find the thin shaved one use it for smaller servings. the very small packets are perfect size for 1 bowl of stock. MSG isn't soo terrible. If you consume to much you can loose your sense of taste and if you are allergic then it obviously isn't good for you. But, otherwise, its not that much worse than processed table salt. It just tastes better. check out this article and find out how many of the processed foods in your cupboard have msg in them. http://www.healthyandhot.com/msg_the_good_the_bad_and_the_glutemate.htm Mitoku Organic Mikawa Mirin is a good mirin. and relatively easy to find.

As for mirin, I don't have a particular brand I recommend, but look at the ingredients. I try to steer clear of brands that list "Corn Syrup" as the first ingredient. Some of them also include MSG which I also try and avoid. The thin kind is fine (it just tends to be more expensive).

I love it piled on okonomiyaki. The umami flavor is outstanding...the sight of all those wiggling flakes are a bonus. Mmm…bonito. I love it piled on okonomiyaki.
