Akasu vinegar – 5 years – 900ml
64,00 €
In stock
Akasu is a traditional Japanese red vinegar made from sake lees. In Japanese, aka means red and su means vinegar.
When the sake lees are aged and ferment over a long period, the color changes from light amber to brownish red. During the process, proteins are converted into amino acids, and starch is slowly converted into sugar and organic acids. This gives the vinegar a rounder taste than many light rice vinegars.
This Akasu vinegar is aged for 5 years and has a complex flavor with natural acidity, slight sweetness, and distinct umami.

Content: 900 ml
Type: Akasu / Japanese red vinegar

Note
Akasu is produced through a long, natural fermentation of sake lees. After maceration, the lees are pressed, after which the vinegar continues to age before release.
