Sennari Vinegar Brewery Organic Rice Vinegar

Regular price $13.95

Made from only two ingredients—organic rice and water from the mountains of Northern Hiroshima—this organic rice vinegar is a cut above standard supermarket varieties. Slightly sweeter, with a rounder flavor and more umami notes than most rice vinegars, its subtle acidity offers a much more balanced outcome, so no bitterness or harshness comes through. Sennari, a brewery established in Japan in 1927, uses a traditional static fermentation process to produce their vinegars. Koji, a natural fermentation culture, is combined with steamed organic rice and nearby mountain water featuring a soft PH of 7. The combination ferments and develops naturally over the course of six months, resulting in a rice vinegar with a more mild acidity and elevated taste. Conventional mass produced vinegar is usually made in just one week using an automatic fermentation method, the result of which we found lacking in taste.

Water, organic rice

Use this vinegar to balance sweetness or make dishes brighter, such as in our Fried Rice with Edamame and Ham. We also like to add to it salads like this simple Sakai Daikon Radish Salad and Smashed Cucumber Salad, or stir fries like Soy-Steamed Japanese-Style Rice with Mushrooms and Tofu.​
