A delightful taster set of five unique fruit vinegars made in the Mikura master vinegary in the Mie Prefecture in Japan. The vinegars use a base blend of traditionally aged black and red vinegars, with raw sugar and fruit added. Each bottle showcases a different fruit, all grown locally to the vinegary.
Our Fruit Vinegar Set from the Mikura Vinegary is a unique blend of natural ingredients, meticulously crafted to offer a range of culinary uses. Each vinegar in the set is made with high-quality, locally sourced fruits, masterfully blended with red and and black traditionally fermented vinegars. From the zesty kick of ginger vinegar to the subtle sweetness of blueberry vinegar, this set opens up a world of possibilities in your kitchen.
Meyer Lemon Vinegar - 70ml
Meyer lemons are sweeter and milder with a floral quality, when compared to normal lemons. They also have a slight tang of mandarin or orange, and their lower acidity and mildness makes them perfect for when a less acidic citrus flavour is required.
Yuzu Vinegar - 70ml
Made with whole unpeeled yuzu juice (from both the highly aromatic zest as well as the fruit), with no added flavourings, this vinegar has a gentle aroma and is a perfect balance of bright, citrusy acidity with a hint of floral sweetness. Yuzu has a complex flavour that combines elements of lemon, lime and grapefruit, with a fragrant, floral quality.
Ume Vinegar - 70ml
A unique vinegar made by soaking and aging green ume plums from Mie Prefecture in a blend of vinegars and raw sugar which captures the fruit’s signature tartness and depth of flavour. Ume plum vinegar’s unique balance of acidity and subtle fruitiness allows it to elevate both traditional and contemporary dishes, adding complexity and depth to your cooking. This is different to traditional umezu vinegar which is a byproduct of the umeboshi (pickled ume plum) process.
Blueberry Vinegar - 70ml
A premium, artisanal vinegar that combines the luscious sweetness of ripe blueberries with a delicate, balanced acidity, ideal for enhancing dressings, marinades and sauces, offering a sophisticated fruity tang that complements both savoury and sweet dishes
Fresh Ginger Vinegar
- 70ml
A vibrant, zesty vinegar that infuses your dishes with the perfect balance of heat and acidity. Made from carefully selected ginger roots and aged vinegar, this versatile vinegar brings a subtle warmth and depth to your cooking, transforming even the simplest recipes into bold, flavourful experiences.
About Mikura Vinegary
Made in the Mikura Vinegary, a small company of artisanal vinegar makers in the Mie Prefecture, combining natural fermentation techniques with high-quality ingredients.
The rich aroma and depth of flavour of the Mikura vinegars are due to the long fermentation time in traditional wooden barrels. This method of brewing requires time and effort for a relatively small production quantity but the end result is a vinegar which has less acidic irritation and a mellow taste compared to vinegar brewed using faster modern methods.
Each bottle is a celebration of Japanese craftsmanship and attention to detail, offering not only incredible taste but also health benefits thanks to its natural fermentation process.
