Marukan vinegar uses only natural methods to produce vinegar. Marukan takes great care to make its rice vinegar from scratch. There are ways to speed up the process, but Marukan believes that taking shortcuts does not produce fine quality vinegar compared to the slow and natural brewed method. A key component to making quality rice vinegar is the acetic acid bacteria that is used in the vinegar fermentation process. Marukan imports acetic acid bacteria from Japan, where it is delicately cultivated.
Marukan believes it makes the finest rice vinegar in the world. Marukan vinegars are milder yet richer in flavor than any others. This is the result of the care and attention to detail learned through centuries. Marukan’s passion for making the world’s finest rice vinegar is what has kept the company successful for generations.
