Premium Pure Rice Vinegar

Iio Jizo Premium Pure Rice Vinegar is crafted with an exceptional 320 grams of rice per liter, significantly more than the 200 grams used in their standard Pure Rice Vinegar and much more than the 40 grams used in conventional rice vinegar. This higher rice content results in a richer, more rounded flavor with pronounced depth and natural sweetness, making it ideal for dishes where the character of the vinegar truly shines. Slow-fermented using time-honored methods, this premium vinegar adds refined complexity to dressings, sushi rice, and pickled vegetables.

Established in 1893, Iio Jizo has become synonymous with premium rice vinegar in Japan. Fifth-generation owner Akihiro Iio continues the tradition of using exclusively 100% new-harvest pesticide-free rice. Each bottle takes more than a year to complete, starting with sake brewed on-site following techniques refined over centuries. This painstaking process also underlies their distinctive purple sweet potato vinegars.
