Black vinegar that is aged by hand and over time
Commitment to raw materials
Brown rice, which is the only ingredient, is used according to the production area depending on the year. The quality changes slightly depending on the year's results, but we select the ones in the best condition based on many years of experience and visual confirmation.
Commitment to traditional manufacturing methods
We continue to adhere to the manufacturing method of open-air jar preparation, which has not changed since our founding.
Ceramic jars (turtles) lined up in a vast field. In the process, with the help of sunlight, Kirishima's wind, and the microorganisms that live in the brewery, the fermentation and maturation process is carried out over time.
This open-air pot preparation is by no means an efficient manufacturing method. Temperature control is also affected by the weather, and it takes time and effort. However, it is this power of nature that is the source of the mellow, deep taste and rich aroma unique to Date Brewing's black vinegar.
Each jar is filled with the love and experience of the craftsmen. Check the condition of the jar every day and do not miss any subtle changes. I face black vinegar as if I were raising my own child.
Commitment to additive-free
No synthetic additives such as preservatives, colorants, or fragrances are used.
In the case of black vinegar, the only ingredients are brown rice and water. The natural acidity and umami created by long-term aging are the characteristics of our black vinegar.
The same goes for barley miso. The only ingredients are wheat, soybeans, and salt.
We believe that maximizing the power of these natural ingredients is the basis for making delicious miso.
By slowly aging the barley miso using the traditional method without adding preservatives, we deliver safe and secure barley miso that condenses the original flavor and umami of the ingredients.
