RICE VINEGAR RED “SHUGYOKU AKASU” (1.8LT)

The “Akazu Red Vinegar” was created during a period in Japan where the rice vinegar production was almost a luxury for most people. So when the method of making vinegar from the sake lees (a by-product of making sake) was conceived, the Akazu red vinegar was born. It became popular among the public and the red sushi rice using red vinegar became the standard for sushi at the time. Furthermore, by aging and carefully preparing it, red vinegar with rich umami flavor and robust fragrance is born. It features a mild taste and it’s recommended to use it alone without mixing it with any other vinegar.
