Made to a traditional Japanese recipe by third-generation family producers on the island of Kyushu, this organic brown rice vinegar has a full, mellow flavour with a delicate hint of caramel.
Unlike sharper vinegars, this Japanese classic offers a gentle acidity (4.4%) that enlivens dishes without overpowering them. It is ideal wherever subtle tartness is needed — from sushi rice to salad dressings and marinades.

FAQs
How does brown rice vinegar differ from white rice vinegar?
Brown rice vinegar is made from whole grain brown rice, giving it a deeper, more complex flavour with delicate caramel notes. Both are suitable for sushi, but brown rice vinegar offers a richer aroma.
Is it suitable for a vegan diet?
Yes — it is 100% plant-based and certified organic, containing only water and organic brown rice.
How should I store it after opening?
Store in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight. Close tightly after use. Refrigeration is not required.
How much should I use in recipes?
Typically 1–2 tablespoons for dressings or marinades. For sushi rice vinegar, mix 3 tbsp vinegar, 2 tbsp sugar and 1 tsp salt per 300g cooked rice.
