Fuji Vinegar Premium is Iio Jozo's masterpiece, the result of a 20-year pursuit to create a rice vinegar with the elegance and refinement of a fine daiginjo sake. Like their Pure Rice Vinegar, it begins with freshly harvested, rice grown in Kyoto's Tango region and pure spring water. Iio Jozo brews its own junmai sake, then slowly transforms it into vinegar through traditional static fermentation and long aging.
What sets Premium apart is its extraordinary use of rice. Each liter is made from 320 grams of rice, eight times the minimum required by Japanese standards for rice vinegar. The result is a remarkably mellow vinegar with a gentle aroma, soft acidity, and exceptional depth. Rich in natural umami, it adds incredible complexity to everything from sushi rice and dressings to delicate vegetable and seafood dishes, showing that great vinegar can be as nuanced and expressive as great wine or sake.
