Genmai Su (Brown Rice Vinegar) - 500ml

Ohyama Genmai Su (Brown Rice Vinegar)

Ohyama Genmai Su is a rich, full-flavoured brown rice vinegar crafted from steamed organic brown rice, black Koji, and pure water sourced from the pristine laurel forests of Aya, Miyazaki Prefecture, Japan. Fermented traditionally in earthenware pots partially buried into hillside soil, this unique method leverages the cooling morning ocean breezes and gentle fog to slow fermentation, followed by daytime heat to activate and accelerate the vinegar mash. The result is an elegantly robust vinegar featuring gentle caramel undertones. In Japan, Genmai Su is valued not only for culinary purposes but also as a health beverage reputed to aid digestion and weight loss.
