Akasu vinegar
From 15,46 €
Akasu means red vinegar in Japanese. The vinegar is made from sake lees, which are the leftover product from sake production.
During the long fermentation, the lees change color from amber to deeper brownish shades. The process develops the vinegar’s acidity, mild sweetness, and umami.
For production, high-quality sake lees are selected, which ferment naturally for at least 3 years. After fermentation, the lees are pressed, and the vinegar rests for a further approx. 3 months.
