Iio Jozo makes incredible vinegars. They control the process from field to bottle and the resulting vinegars are the definition of artisanal.

When you make things from scratch like Iio Jozo does by making sake first, then fermenting that into vinegar, naturally you will have some by-products. In sake making the by-product is called sake kasu (sake lees). Iio Jozo decided to take their sake kasu and basically ferment it into vinegar. Sounds simple enough, right? But Iio Jozo ages it for 10 years before they call it Akasu (red vinegar). This special brew is very different, almost like a tame sherry vinegar crossed with rice vinegar. Top sushi chefs use it in their rice, but we find it amazing in many other way - think pickles, vinaigrettes, etc.
Ingredients: water, rice, aged sake lees

Originally Iio Jozo had told us we couldn't sell this vinegar, but over time they have come to trust us to truly honor the beauty of their labor-intensive vinegars. Their apple vinegar is no different. The farmer, Akinori Kimura, is known for growing “miracle apples”.
This vinegar is one of the most delicate vinegars Iio Jozo makes in our opinion. Initial taste leads your taste buds thinking they are drinking one of the most refined ciders in the world, but then a blanket of subtle acid comes over your palate. Truly a one of kind vinegar...

To start, Joël Robuchon says that this vinegar is one of the best ingredients from Japan. Do we need to say more? Of course, this vinegar is truly unique. The nose smells of fresh fig and the taste is that of fig leaf with wonderfully complex acid notes.

This vinegar is really like no other, which is due to its combination of ingredients: Iio Jozo Pure Rice Vinegar, brown sugar from Tanegashima, Australian sea salt processed in Hyogo prefecture, and a dashi made from organic sun-dried tomatoes from the USA, organic bay leaf from Shizuoka prefecture & organic black peppercorns from Sri Lanka. The vegetable dashi adds such a unique umami component that works beautifully for pickling. Iio-san says to simply add cut veggies, place in Ziplock bag, add some vinegar, put in the fridge overnight and then you have wonderful pickles. I also often use it as base for a vinaigrette.

Like their Pure Rice Vinegar, this vinegar is made with ingredients grown without pesticides and Iio Jozo’s house-made sake. However, to make a liter of this premium vinegar they use 320 grams of rice. This recipe was developed over a 20 year period by the fifth generation Iio-san to have a rounder, fuller taste and has minimized the acidic nose of regular vinegar.

Like all of their other vinegars, first Iio-san makes a sake from the main ingredient and then turns it into vinegar. Same goes for this purple sweet potato vinegar, which the resulting sake looks like a brilliant ruby red beet soup. The finished vinegar itself has beautiful purplish color. On the nose and palate you can taste the earthy potato, but it also has the round fullness of a superb red wine vinegar. This product is really amazing.
