California Junmai Rice Wine Vinegar - 8.5oz Glass Bottle is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.
Made with junmai-grade California sake, this rice wine vinegar brings more body and nuance than commercial options. It’s slow-fermented the old-school way and rested in 25-gallon American oak for balanced brightness with a gentle, velvety finish. Reach for it when your salad, sushi rice, or seafood needs a lift without sharp edges.
This vinegar has a naturally fuller mouthfeel and a clean, layered tang—perfect when you want your dressing or marinade to taste elegant rather than acidic. Fermented slowly, aged in oak, and bottled with care, it’s a pantry staple you’ll keep near the cutting board.
Rich and round with more weight than typical rice vinegar. Beautiful in cucumber and micro-green salads, sushi rice, delicate sauces, seafood, soups, and light marinades. Try it in everyday vinaigrettes, slaws, and quick pickles where you want brightness without bite.
