Unfiltered Nigori Brown Rice Black Vinegar 580g || Made in Japan, Additive-Free, Naturally Fermented

Ally of Health: Enhancing the Power of Acetic Acid Bacteria in Black Vinegar

Black vinegar, beloved as a health drink for maintaining overall well-being, is further enriched in Kawashima-ya's Genmai Kurozu. Unfiltered and containing minerals, as well as abundant live acetic acid bacteria and enzymes typically removed during filtration, our Nigori (cloudy) black vinegar boasts enhanced nutritional value, making it perfect for daily health habits.

Boosting Body's Defenses with Acetic Acid Bacteria

Unlike clear vinegars where acetic acid bacteria are removed for quality and visual appeal through filtration and pasteurization, the live acetic acid bacteria in Nigori (cloudy) black vinegar are a powerful source of vinegar itself, enhancing the body's defense mechanisms.

Reviewing the Benefits of the Health Beverage 'Black Vinegar'

Black vinegar, recognized as a daily health beverage, contains more than 4 times the amino acids found in rice vinegar.

For Those Concerned About Body Stagnation

Black vinegar contains substances known to inhibit Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE). Consumed with meals, it can also address carbohydrates and fats.

Refreshing Body and Mind with the Power of Acids

Alongside citric acid, black vinegar contains various acids such as amino acids and kojic acid, benefiting the skin's condition and refreshing the mind, contributing to everyday health maintenance.

Naturally Fermented and Aged for a Refreshing and Gentle Flavor

Delicious when diluted with water or carbonated water, this Genmai Kurozu has a light and refreshing taste while retaining the gentle essence of aged Nigori vinegar. Careful natural fermentation and maturation, along with high-quality ingredients, result in a rich flavor with over 10% extract content (typically 2-5% in regular black vinegar).

Safe and Secure: Raw Materials from Saga Prefecture

Nigori Genmai Kurozu is crafted using carefully selected ingredients sourced directly from contracted farmers in Saga Prefecture: pesticide-reduced brown rice, homemade brown rice koji fermented over three days and nights, and cold water from Saga. Kawashima-ya's Genmai Kurozu is completely additive-free, allowing you to savor the natural flavor of the ingredients.

Passed Down Since the First Generation: Traditional Long-term Static Fermentation

Nigori Genmai Kurozu follows the manufacturing process maintained since its founding in 1832 by the first generation, Isaemon. It undergoes 90 days of fermentation and 90 days of maturation, resulting in a mellow taste without sharp acidity. Commercial black vinegars often add alcohol to speed up fermentation, dilute with water, or filter out the Nigori components. Kawashima-ya's Genmai Kurozu is made by patiently waiting for natural fermentation, with nothing added or removed.
