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.

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.

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...

Iio Jozo's brown rice vinegar is made just like their Pure and Premium rice vinegar, expect it is made with brown rice. This wonderful brew has a rich, malty taste. It is great for adding to broths, ponzu, pickles or making vinaigrette.
