Our vinegars are made in three different ways:
Pure Rice Vinegar
Taste: Clear aroma, rich flavour, and mellow acidity.
Pure Sake Cake Vinegar
Sake cake are the lees left over from the sake making process. It is typically aged for a deeper flavour when used to make vinegar.
Taste: Rich full-bodied taste with umami, dark colour.
Spirit Vinegar
Taste: Light and mild taste.
Shiragiku is brewed with rice and sake cake – the lees left over from the sake making process – to create the perfect mellow acidity and umami flavour. Highly versatile, it noticeably enhances the flavour of an array of dishes.
The sake lees in Shiragiku are the difference – releasing the flavours in dishes by heightening, deepening, sharpening and sweetening.
Specially crafted under guidance with sushi masters in 1951 to create the perfect sushi rice seasoning. The mellow acidity of rice and the richness of sake cake go well with sushi rice. Since then, it became the most popular vinegar in high-end sushi restaurants in Japan.
Ingredients: Spirit vinegar (made from alcohol with rice and sake cake extract), salt.
Suitable for vegetarians, GMO free.
