Roumei Organic Pure Rice Vinegar is brewed exclusively from domestically produced organic rice. It is certified under JAS Organic.
Vinegar produced through static fermentation has a mellow and rich acidity.
Additionally, it features a refreshing and fruity aroma characteristic of high-quality rice vinegar, without the typical "mure odor" often found in rice vinegars.
The raw materials are 100% domestically grown, organic rice.
Carefully brewed using traditional methods, it is a fragrant and mellow organic pure rice vinegar.
All the rice used as raw material for Roumei is domestically produced organic rice.
It is cultivated without the use of chemical synthetic pesticides, chemical fertilizers, or genetic modification techniques.
To produce vinegar from rice, first, "sake" must be made. This "sake" is prepared manually following the traditional Japanese method called "Sandan Shikomi" (three-stage brewing).
When the "sake" undergoes a second fermentation, it becomes vinegar. Because the fermentation from "sake" to vinegar is performed using an ancient method called static fermentation, 5,000 liters of sake take approximately three months to fully convert into vinegar. Therefore, this process is not suitable for mass production, but it results in a refined product with a gentle acidity.
This pure rice vinegar enhances the ingredients and envelops them with a gentle acidity. It can be used not only in Japanese cuisine but also in various other dishes.
◆ About Kawara Vinegar Manufacturing
Currently, most vinegars on the market are primarily made with brewing alcohol. The fermentation process is often accelerated mechanically, completing what would normally take several months in a matter of moments. While this method offers advantages in efficiency and cost, many people are unaware of the true deliciousness of natural vinegar.
Kawara Vinegar Manufacturing produces vinegar solely from rice, brewing sake from rice and then fermenting it again into vinegar.
Both sake brewing and vinegar brewing are carried out using traditional methods, taking time to preserve the flavor of the rice and produce a rich-tasting vinegar.
Additionally, about one-third of the raw materials are cultivated in-house. These are certified organic and grown without any pesticides.
◆ Brewing
Vinegar is said to be the oldest seasoning, existing since ancient times. Around the world, sake has been produced from crops suited to the local climate and terrain, and from these, vinegar has also been made.
Many people are unaware of what raw materials are used to make vinegar or how it is produced. Currently, mass-produced vinegar on the market often sacrifices the original aroma and flavor of vinegar for lower cost. With the variety of seasonings available today, the role of vinegar may be quite limited.
However, we hope you will try our vinegar, made from carefully selected high-quality raw materials and traditional methods that take time. It has a mellow flavor that mass-produced products lack.
If you dislike the sharp acidity of vinegar or tend to choke when eating vinegared dishes, please try Roumei. Its gentle and rich acidity can change your impression of vinegar.
Furthermore, some people dislike the distinctive "mure odor" derived from rice, which can cause them to avoid pure rice vinegar. Roumei has no mure odor and features a fruity, refreshing aroma. When enjoyed in simple vinegared dishes where the vinegar flavor is directly noticeable, the difference becomes quite clear.
If you skillfully utilize the acidity of vinegar, your culinary options will greatly expand. Even adding a small amount of vinegar to stir-fried or simmered meat, fish, or vegetables can significantly improve the dish.
