About "Hojun Riche Fermenter 2023 Red Wine Vinegar"
"Hojun Riche Fermenter" is a special vinegar brewed with devotion by Kewpie Jousou, which celebrated its 60th anniversary last year, in an effort to create the finest vinegar.
In 2022, it also became a hot topic for using Japanese wine made at Coco Farm & Winery in Ashikaga City, Tochigi Prefecture, crafted from 58% domestic Cabernet Sauvignon and 42% Cabernet Franc.
This year as well, "Hojun Riche Fermenter 2023 Red Wine Vinegar" has been brewed in a limited run of 1,000 bottles.
It has been crafted as a professional-use red wine vinegar packed with meticulous attention to detail.
Using Red Wine from "Arc-en-Vigne"!
"Hojun Riche Fermenter 2023 Red Wine Vinegar" uses Japanese wine crafted from 88.5% domestic Merlot and 11.5% Syrah produced at Arc-en-Vigne of the Japan Wine Agricultural Research Institute Co., Ltd. in Tomi City, Nagano Prefecture.
It has evolved into a "terroir vinegar" available only here this year.
The vinegar fermentation uses water from Nikko and is carefully fermented at Kewpie Jousou's Goka Plant.
Aged in wooden barrels at Kewpie Jousou's Nikko Plant, it is a vinegar with a subtle oak aroma.
