Fujigin Red Vinegar - Sake Pomace Vinegar, Kisaichi, Japan

For this vinegar, the sake pomace was aged for three years and then matured in wooden barrels using traditional methods. This base vinegar was balanced with other vinegars to achieve a particularly deep flavor. It`s perfect for Japanese vinegar dishes (sunomono) and can also be mixed with shoyu, sugar, and sake as a marinade for fried dishes and tempura (tofu, vegetables), or as a base for sushi vinegar. High umami! The Kisaichi Vinegar Factory, founded in 1922, specializes in sushi vinegar. Their various vinegar products have been popular with Michelin-starred restaurants in Tokyo and Osaka for decades. All vinegars are traditionally brewed from basic Japanese ingredients and contain no additives. They have a low acidity that won`t over-acidify sushi rice. The natural amino acids enhance the natural sweetness of the sushi rice.
