This is an all-natural black vinegar from Marushige that can be used both for cooking, and for drinking. The health benefits of fermented black vinegar have long been discussed in Japan, so many people mix it with soda water for a nutritious, sour drink.
Marushige brews this vinegar by fermenting steamed brown rice and natural, local water in a traditional open-air jar for a minimum of a year. You can use this not only in traditional Japanese recipes that call for black vinegar, but in western dishes too, as the sour, fermented flavor adds a ton of umami.
