Why are we doing?

Auto-translated
Show original
Mizuho Co., Ltd., which makes the vinegar used in saku, has been making vinegar in Nara Prefecture since 1658.
We have continued to make vinegar using the traditional method of fermenting in Yoshino cedar wooden barrels.
　
Vinegar is made by fermenting sake.
　
Our vinegar making also begins with sake production.
　
The resulting sake is transferred into wooden barrels and fermented with acetic acid over more than three months to make vinegar. Over time, the vinegar is brewed in wooden barrels using the craftsmanship's skill, resulting in a mellow flavor unique to the brewery.
　
The acetic acid in vinegar has been reported to have health benefits, such as lowering elevated blood pressure and suppressing postprandial blood sugar spikes.
However, in our current diet, opportunities to consume vinegar are not very common.
　
That's why we developed saku as a vinegar drink that can be enjoyed more casually with meals.

What are we doing?

Vinegar and sake have similar molecular structures, providing sensations similar to alcohol, such as warming the body.
Overseas, during Prohibition, vinegar-based drinks called "Shrub" were popular as a substitute for alcohol.
　
Generally, shrubs are made with a fruit vinegar base, but saku is based on pure rice vinegar made by Mizuho.
　
Together with a sommelier, we pursued a flavor that pairs perfectly with meals by combining mellow junmai vinegar brewed in wooden barrels with fruits and spices, unique to Japan.
　
Although it's non-alcoholic, you can get pleasantly tipsy with vinegar.
From daily meals to relaxing time.
Everyone can spend a pleasant and healthy time anytime.
　
SAKU hopes to become such a new drink option.
　
Our vision is to "create a natural, healthy everyday life."
　
Rather than enduring or forcing yourself for your health, I believe that making things delicious, comfortable, and natural to keep going nurtures healthy days.
　
Through vinegar, we hope to help make your daily life healthy and comfortable.

Commitment to the product

SAKU's products are unique craft vinegar drinks packed with dedication to tradition and natural ingredients.
　
Among them, our flagship products, "Komezu Fruity" and "Kurozu Spicy," have received great acclaim from many customers.
　
【Komezu Fruity】
　
A diluted non-alcoholic type blending wooden barrel-brewed junmai vinegar with mango, fig, pineapple, mandarin, cranberry, and dill.
　
When diluted 5~10 times with sparkling water, the aroma of fruit and herbs gently spreads, creating a refreshing and deeply flavorful taste.
　
With a mild sweetness and a clean aftertaste, it's perfect for meals, relaxation times, or after a bath—making it perfect for various occasions.
　
【Kurozu Spicy】
　
It features a spicy and deep flavor made by layering pure brown rice black vinegar aged in wooden barrels, cinnamon, star anise, cardamom, juniper berries, black pepper, ginger, lemon, vanilla beans, honey, and more.
　
This can be enjoyed not only with sparkling water, but also with hot water, tea, milk, or even as a cocktail flavor.
　
It's especially recommended for those who love spices or seek a unique vinegar flavor.
　
　
Additionally, the 2-bottle set (in gift boxes) meets gift demand and is also chosen as a present. Not only non-alcoholic drinkers, but also those who prefer alcohol can enjoy it as a cocktail flavor, making it suitable for a wide range of occasions.
