Imagawa Red Chili Pepper Spicy Vinegar 150ml

Imagawa Red Chili Pepper Vinegar is a unique Japanese vinegar that's spicy! Made using the delicious Kenzaki Namba Red Pepper, the pepper is pickled inside of the vinegar.

Besides being a quite special vinegar product, Imagawa vinegar is made using a traditional Japanese crafting method called the "static fermentation method."

By using the static fermentation method, handmade sake, moromi, water, and acetic acid bacteria are placed inside of a tank and are left to mature without being stirred. The ingredients are fermented naturally by the acetic acid bacteria. This is a very old-fashioned way of fermenting vinegar, and only a few vinegar breweries in Japan still use this method.

Imagawa brewery is a vinegar brewery located in Kanazawa city, Ishikawa prefecture. Their vinegar products are made using only high quality and domestic ingredients, as well as the "static fermentation method." This method is a very old-fashioned way of fermenting vinegar, and only a few vinegar breweries in Japan are still using it. While it is quite time consuming, it delivers vinegar that is cleaner tasting, can be used in cooking, and can even be consumed in beverages.

Enjoy using this spicy vinegar as a secret ingredient in stir-fried dishes and ramen. You can also mix some with soy sauce and make a tasty dipping sauce for gyoza.
