Rice vinegar is an indispensable basic ingredient in various Asian cuisines, including Thai, Chinese, Japanese and Korean. Its unique flavor profile makes it an essential component in the preparation of various dishes.
With rice vinegar, you add a refreshing flavor to sushi, salads, rice dishes and other Asian delicacies. You taste a subtle, fresh sourness without overwhelming the other flavors.
Our rice vinegar comes from Japan and is made from unhulled sticky rice. This rice is first converted into rice wine, which is then fermented into vinegar in a traditional fermentation process.
This rice vinegar is less sweet than mirin, but has a fresh sour taste that makes it extremely versatile. Compared to many Western vinegars such as wine vinegar, our rice vinegar is less acidic and sharp, with an acidity level around 5%.
Like all our other products, our rice vinegar is 100% natural. It contains only rice and water and koji starter. All ingredients are of organic origin.
Our rice vinegar is perfect to use as a marinade for meats and vegetables. It provides a subtle depth of flavor and an extra fresh touch. It is also an excellent addition to salad dressings, especially when combined with oil and other spices. And of course, it cannot be missed when you want to flavor sushi rice. It gives the rice a shiny appearance and a slight sourness.
It is important not to confuse our rice vinegar with black rice vinegar. Black rice vinegar, widely used in Chinese cuisine, has a higher residual alcohol content and often contains sugar. Our rice vinegar, on the other hand, is known for its versatility and purity, making it a healthier and more flexible option in many Asian dishes.
