Yusen grain vinegar is the robust workhorse of the Japanese professional kitchen, a grain based distilled vinegar from Mizkan, the great house that has been brewing vinegar since 1804. It is defined by a strong, clean, assertive acidity and a rich, full flavour, the dependable sourness that underpins so much of Japanese cooking.

Its bright, sharp character makes it a true all rounder. Balanced with sugar and salt it becomes sushi-su, the seasoned vinegar folded through warm rice to make sushi, and it is equally the foundation of quick pickles, or tsukemono, of the vinegared salads known as sunomono, and of countless dressings and marinades. Its strength means a little delivers plenty of lift, cutting through richness and brightening a dish.

Reliable, consistent and economical, it is the vinegar a busy kitchen turns to again and again. Offered in a handy 900ml bottle for everyday use and a 20L bulk format for high volume production, it brings Mizkan’s centuries of vinegar making to sushi counters and prep benches alike.
