Nature and craftsmanship interweave real black vinegar
The black vinegar brewing at Chomei Helsingvinegar Brewing is born from the harmony of nature's bounty and skillful craftsmanship.
Carefully selected raw materials
We stick to the raw materials. We use high-quality domestic brown rice, koji made using a special method, and natural water that springs up in our brewery – these are just three things. No additives are added, bringing out the full power of nature.
Traditional pot making method
In the pot field, which is lined with about 1,800 pots, black vinegar is made using traditional natural fermentation. Ceramic Aman pots are ideal for outdoor fermentation because they absorb the sun's thermal energy and have a high heat retention effect.
Ideal environment
Nokumita, Hayato Town, where our company is located, is located on the south side of a small mountain, surrounded on three sides by caldera quays, and the remaining lowland facing the sea. The warm climate with an average annual temperature of 18.7 degrees Celsius and a small temperature difference provide an ideal environment for making black vinegar.
Commitment to long-term aging
Our black vinegar is aged over a long period of time, 1-3 years or more. Over time, the taste and aroma mature, and the color of the liquid changes to a beautiful amber color. It creates a mellow, rich, and mellow taste.
Skilled craftsmanship
Skilled craftsmen with more than 20 or 30 years of experience determine the condition of each kettle and adjust for subtle differences to produce stable quality black vinegar.
The black vinegar created in this way is more than just a seasoning, it is the crystallization of Kagoshima's tradition and pride.
