Let Z ⊂ T d be a non-degenerate hypersurface in d-dimensional torus T d ∼ = (C * ) d defined by a Laurent polynomial f with a given d-dimensional Newton polytope P . It follows from a theorem of Ishii that Z is birational to a smooth projective variety X of Kodaira dimension κ ≥ 0 if and only if the Fine interior F (P ) of P is nonempty. We define a unique projective model Z of Z having at worst canonical singularities which allows us to obtain minimal models Z of Z by crepant morphisms Z → Z. Moreover, we show that κ = min{d − 1, dim F (P )} and that general fibers in the Iitaka fibration of the canonical model Z are nondegenerate (d − 1 − κ)-dimensional toric hypersurfaces of Kodaira dimension 0. Using the rational polytope F (P ), we compute the stringy E-function of minimal models Z and obtain a combinatorial formula for their stringy Euler numbers.
