This exemplary seasoned rice vinegar is bright and fruity with a natural sweetness that’s perfect for sushi rice or dumpling dipping sauces. Fuller-bodied than conventional rice vinegars with a layered flavor and natural sweetness. You can tell the quality by its texture: slightly viscous even with no added sugar. The syrupy texture coats the food and sticks to the senses. The color is naturally a warm toasty brown. This has a similar acid level to other rice vinegars at 4.5%.

This seasoned rice vinegar is fermented naturally, seasoned only with salt, and is packaged in a long-neck glass bottle with a dispenser top. The glutinous rice used in the vinegar is grown in Taiwan.
