Is there a Substitute for Mirin? I looked everywhere in my Grocery stores, and they don't have it in the Asian section of the store. They have Rice cooking wine, Is that the same thing?

Sake and sugar (3:1)

it won't taste the same, but you could always use a teaspoon of sugar and white wine vinegar.
