Akazu - Premium Red Vinegar made from Sake Pomace, 3 years, Kohno Honten, Japan, 275 ml

Red vinegar is made from sake pomace. Sake pomace is first aged for three years before being further fermented into vinegar. During this time, the press residue changes from a whitish color to a reddish-brown. The regional rice comes from Okayama Province, the home of the brewery. The vinegar is very round and mild and is often used to make Edomae-style sushi rice. This rice is therefore not white, but has a reddish color, and its umami enhances the flavor of the sushi. Ideal for sushi rice, but also for dressings, etc.
