Description

This rice vinegar is produced in the same way as junmai sake, using only rice and rice koji. As with sake, an initial alcoholic fermentation takes place during which the sugar produced by the rice starch is converted into alcohol. Then, using acetic acid, the solution ferments a second time to increase the acidity, reduce the alcohol, and finally achieve a rice vinegar with a rich, deep, umami flavor.

Flavor

A golden yellow color and a frank acidity which blends with a very rich umami flavor due to the rice koji.

Conservation

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