Refined over centuries, the techniques used by Kakuida Fukuyama Kurozu are unchanged for the last 200 years. \n\u003cp\u003eSteamed brown rice and soya beans are mixed with koji and spring water in 54 litre ceramic pots called Tsubo. Fukuyama-cho spring water is renowned for its quality and its unique properties are an integral part of the process of making black vinegar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAcetic fermentation follows the yeast fermentation so alcohol, in this case sake, is turned into acetic acid.  The pots are stirred regularly with bamboo canes to improve oxygenation and control the bacterial reaction. Throughout the fermentation and ageing process, the head Kurozu craftsman, or “Brewmaster” will inspect each Tsubo using smell, taste, colour and viscosity to determine if the natural bacterial reaction is proceeding correctly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ceramic pots that hold the vinegar remain outdoors, where the vinegar is exposed to heat during the day and the cool sea breeze from Kagoshima Kinko Bay at night. These fluctuations are balanced by the size and shape of the clay pot, the result is ideal conditions for the bacteria to mature the vinegar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Vinegar slowly refines over time, this softens the acidic notes giving a rounder, milder taste. The sugar and amino acid content rise, and the colour darkens, during the ageing process. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll vinegars made by Kakuida Fukuyama Kurozu are aged for a minimum of 3 years, they are produced without any additives, colourings or preservatives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 open=\"\" sans=\"\" sans-serif=\"\" color:=\"\" rgb=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#295218\" style=\"color: #295218;\"\u003eHealth Promoting Properties of Cereal Vinegars\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003ePanagiotis Kandylis, Argyro Bekatorou, Dimitra Dimitrellou, Iris Plioni and Kanella Giannopoulou\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eLuís Manuel Lopes Rodrigues da Silva, Academic Editor\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC7914830\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ehttps:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC7914830\/\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cu\u003eExtracts from this paper: \u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVinegar has been used for its health promoting properties since antiquity. Nowadays, these properties are investigated, scientifically documented, and highlighted. The health benefits of vinegar have been associated with the presence of a variety of bioactive components such as acetic acid and other organic acids, phenolic compounds, amino acids, carotenoids, phytosterols, vitamins, minerals, and alkaloids, etc. These components are known to induce responses in the human body, such as antioxidant, antidiabetic, antimicrobial, antitumor, antiobesity, antihypertensive, and anti-inflammatory effects. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo conclude, this literature review highlights that the inclusion of cereal vinegars in the diet (as dressing or acidifier) can contribute to the health status and integrate current therapies against various pathologies. However, as pointed out in a systematic review and meta-analysis [103], which acknowledges the health benefits of vinegars and proposes vinegar consumption as part of a healthy diet, the amount of vinegar used to establish its bioactive properties varies across studies and is relatively small. Therefore, special attention should be paid to the generalization of the outcomes of clinical studies [103]. In addition, considering that the available data are relatively limited, further research combined with epidemiologic and case studies are essential for the scientific substantiation of the health benefits of cereal vinegars, that may also allow specific health claims from vinegar manufacturers and better consumer understanding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cu\u003eLinks for reference:\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.nippon.com\/en\/views\/b01724\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ehttps:\/\/www.nippon.com\/en\/views\/b01724\/\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=4je5ZDwuaUE\u0026amp;ab_channel=GreatBigStory\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ehttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=4je5ZDwuaUE\u0026amp;ab_channel=GreatBigStory\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/jigsaw-japan.com\/2021\/01\/30\/its-a-condiment-its-a-health-food-its-black-vinegar\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ehttps:\/\/jigsaw-japan.com\/2021\/01\/30\/its-a-condiment-its-a-health-food-its-black-vinegar\/\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Kakuida Fukuyama Kurozu","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46559547326745,"sku":"WSB.VINEGAR.44","price":89.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0748\/7763\/2793\/products\/5-year-aged-black-rice-vinegar-takara-1L.jpg?v=1743507105"},{"product_id":"organic-tonkatsu-sauce-175g","title":"Organic Tonkatsu Sauce - 175g","description":"\u003cp\u003eSennari’s artisanal organic tonkatsu sauce is a traditional Japanese condiment with a rich balance of sweet, tangy, and lightly vinegary flavours.
