Made with Only Natural Ingredients! Exquisite Yuzu Vinegar Crafted by Master Brewers – Fuji Yuzu Vinegar 360ml

The moment you open the bottle, the refined aroma of citrus spreads. It is more than just a seasoning. It is the beginning of a once-in-a-lifetime experience that crystallizes the Japanese climate and the spirit of the brewers.

Yuzu from Tokushima and Kabosu from Oita. The first stock is made from Rishiri kelp from Hokkaido and dried bonito flakes from Kagoshima. And the "Junmai Fuji Vinegar" that Iio Brewery has been protecting and nurturing for over 120 years.

Although each is a solitary entity, the moment they come together in harmony they create an overwhelmingly unique flavor that combines depth and lightness.

Fuji Yuzu Ponzu is not just a condiment to fill your daily life, but a "supreme drop" that will weave a new story at your dinner table. It will surprisingly elevate your hot pot, tofu, or grilled fish, making you feel like you're enjoying the deliciousness of a traditional Japanese restaurant in the comfort of your own home.

Once you taste it, there's no going back. This is a miraculous harmony woven with sincerity by the brewers.

Once you try this bottle, you'll feel like you can't go back to other ponzu sauces.

What makes Fuji Yuzu Ponzu so special?

1. A vibrant collaboration of citrus fruits

The core of the fragrance is made up of yuzu from Tokushima and kabosu from Oita. The mellow aroma of the two is complemented by a refreshing acidity from the kabosu from Oita. It is not just a blend of fruit juices, but an art form that condenses the Japanese terroir (climate) into one drop.

2. "Genuine umami" created by the brewers

The first stock, carefully extracted from kelp and bonito, is a symbol of time and effort. It is a delicious flavor that can never be achieved through mass production, and is created by human hands and sincerity.

3. The silent star: "Junmai Fuji Vinegar"

While other companies outsource their vinegar, Iio Brewery produces everything in-house, from rice cultivation to production. "Junmai Fuji Vinegar" is a testament to its quality, elevating the acidity itself and creating an elegant harmony throughout.

4. All natural and domestically produced

The soy sauce is made from 100% domestically grown whole soybeans. The sweetness comes from raw sugar from Kagoshima. All are sourced from Japanese producers that we can personally identify with. The philosophy of "not going against nature" is embodied in every bottle.

Proposals to broaden your taste

• Hotpot/Boiled tofu: The balance of fruit juice and dashi enhances the flavor of the ingredients.
• Seared bonito and grilled fish: Eliminates odors and the citrus aroma stimulates the appetite.
• Cold tofu and boiled greens: The difference stands out because of its simplicity.
• Western food sauce: Combine with olive oil to create an authentic dressing or marinade.

This versatile seasoning is an essential part of modern cuisine, and can be used in both Japanese and Western dishes.

What is Iio Brewery?

Founded in 1893 in Amanohashidate, Miyazu, overlooking the scenic Ise Bay, with the burning desire to "make the best vinegar in Japan, like Mount Fuji." For over 130 years since then, the brewers have not simply made vinegar, but have made it their mission to capture the story of rice, earth, and water in a single bottle.

From the pioneering challenge taken on by the third generation owner when he persuaded contract farmers to introduce pesticide-free rice, saying, "We want to make vinegar that both people and nature can be proud of," to the fifth generation owner renting his own terraced rice fields and taking up rice cultivation himself with the desire to "create a flavor that will not fade for the next 100 years," the progress of Iio Brewery has been supported by the twin nourishments of "conscience" and "innovation."

It is customary to see over 100 volunteers from all over the country sharing their sweat from planting to harvesting. The painstaking work required to create the rice fields is a testament to the love for one's hometown that protects the local landscape and fosters bonds that transcend generations.

Listening to the voices of nature, and brewing with care to create a harmony between rice, water, and acetic acid bacteria - this is the Iio Brewery style. While respecting tradition, the spirit of the craftsman who pursues new value will continue to be unchanged in the future, and will continue to bring "delicious and safe" sake to the world.
