Marukan Rice Vinegar Review and Giveaway
Experience the Marukan Difference: Premium Rice Vinegar!
The accent that can bring just about any dish or salad to life
Marukan, is a 350 year-old rice vinegar company which offers a wide array of Non-GMO products enjoyed by professional and aspiring chefs alike. While most people associate vinegar with the familiar red and white options they’ve probably been buying all their lives, discerning chefs know that rice vinegar is the secret ingredient that can add a fresh accent to anything from sushi to grilled fish to steak to salads.
Every summer I head to Cape Cod to visit my mother-in-law. She has the most plentiful garden filled with all sorts of lettuce varieties, heirloom tomatoes and cucumbers. I love to head out to the garden and harvest the labor of love my MIL puts into her garden, and the last thing I want to do is drench our delicate salad with dressing. We use Rice Vinegar all summer! We add three shakes of the vinegar, a dash of salt and a bit of olive oil…PERFECTION!
How Marukan Rice Vinegar is Made
Producing rice vinegar with legendary taste and mildness takes time. Marukan Vinegars are slowly and naturally brewed, using traditional methods developed by over three centuries of experience by Japan’s finest artisans. The delicate aroma, rich flavor and mild taste of Marukan are all the result of this natural, slow-brewed process.
