Description

Red vinegar is a vinegar made from sake lees, not rice. It is more aromatic and rounder in the mouth than traditional rice vinegar. During fermentation, the nutrients in the sake lees darken the vinegar, which turns brown. This vinegar has been matured for 3 years using a process passed down from generation to generation within the brewery. The term “aka,” red in Japanese, also refers to brown.

Flavor

A brown color similar to soy sauce. A frank acidity combined with a nice roundness in the mouth and a slightly bitter side that remains on the finish.

Conservation

Store in a cool, dry place away from light. Refrigerate after opening. Consume promptly.

Ingredients & Allergens

Water (67%), Sake Lees (30%), Rice (3%)
