What is Akasu?
During the Edo period, Komezu vinegar made from rice was a luxury, so for the common folks it was not an easy access. It was in this environment the method of making vinegar from the “sake lees”, a by-product of making sake, was conceived and the “Akazu Red Vinegar” was born. The Red Vinegar quickly became popular among the public and the red sushi rice using red vinegar became the standard for sushi at the time.
The only vinegar brewery house in Tokyo produces the “Akazu Red Vinegar”, a preferred vinegar by the sushi chefs of the Edo-mae style sushi artistry. Our Akazu Red Vinegar uses highly selected and fine quality sake lees collected from sake breweries in Japan and seal-stored after making sure it is air-tight. By letting it rest for a long time in this state to mature the umami components, the sugar and amino acid in the sake lees trigger the color to change from the initial milky white to red miso like brown, and the aroma becomes similar to Chinese Shaoxing rice wine.
Using this matured sake lees packed with umami components as its only ingredient, yeast is added for alcoholic fermentation and then acetobacter is used over time to cause acetic acid fermentation. Furthermore, by aging and carefully preparing it, red vinegar with rich umami flavor and robust fragrance is born. It could be said that the red color unique to the red vinegar is the color of umami flavor that dedicated “time” has created.
