Sanbaizu: Japanese Umami Flavoured Rice Vinegar

The Wasabi Company is a family-run business, specialising in growing and supplying fine Japanese ingredients. This umami-rich rice vinegar is fermented and aged in 100-year-old cedar wood casks that are each individually named after a sumo champion. It's delicately flavoured with kombu (kelp), bonito fish flakes, mirin and mushrooms. A longheld secret of top chefs, this vinegar is ideal for marinating vegetables and adding to dressings and sauces for depth of flavour.
