Purple Sweet Potato Vinegar

Iio Jozo is a 123 year old vinegar company located on the Sea of Japan near the town of Miyazu. By controlling the process from start to finish and sticking to traditional production methods, Iio-san produces what is arguably the highest quality rice vinegar in Japan.

Iio-san first makes a sake from the main ingredient & then turns it into vinegar. For this vinegar, the resulting sake looks like a brilliant ruby red beet soup. On the nose and palate you sense the earthy potato, but also the round fullness of a superb red wine vinegar. This product is really amazing. Ingredients: water, purple sweet potato, rice
