About
A Japanese black vinegar made by Uchibori Brewing, a vinegar maker based in Gifu Prefecture.
Made from 100% domestically grown brown rice, slowly fermented and aged over time. No additives or colorings.
Flavor
It has a gentle acidity with a subtle depth and faint natural sweetness.It feels softer than many black vinegars I’ve used.
When heated, the acidity softens and the richness deepens, adding a quiet layer of flavor.
How I Use It
I mix this vinegar with soy sauce and add a little yuzu kosho, a Japanese condiment made from yuzu citrus and chili peppers.
It makes a simple dipping sauce that pairs well with gyoza.
It also works well as a simple dressing — I sometimes just add a little olive oil to the same mixture.
Beyond that, it pairs naturally with pickles, simmered dishes, and tomato-based soups.
