Watching a person who's been perfecting their craft over the years up until close to their retirement is such a joy, the passion they demonstrate for their craft is incomparable.

I couldn't believe my ears hearing about this guy who's family has been making pottery for 15 GENERATIONS, absolutely outstanding! You have to admire such a dedication to traditional business operations. There is such a passion from the children and grandchildren (and so on) of the businesses and the locals who continue to buy from such storied establishments.

My grandmother used to make this type of vinegar in this type of pots at home. We had rice fields in our village and also brown rice. All the villagers used to come to buy at our place and it was the best vinegar ever.

Kurozu is probably the most consumed vinegar in Japan. We all know the "authentic" ones are from Kagoshima, but there are countless brands around (Mizkan being the most ubiquitous.) It's kinda staple in the modern Japanese diet rather like a healthy drink than a condiment (think apple cider vinegar.)

@Blackstarling11

I had heard about this vinegar mostly from health references rather than from gourmet ones. In Italy to prove you made authentic Traditional Balsamic Vinegar they have to have a third party analysis of the polyphenols and other bioactive compounds from the variety of barrels used. There is a difficult distinction when you move from natural vitamins/pharmaceuticals into the food arena as we are often obsessed with calories and basic Nutrition facts we don't make the rigurious distinction or even think about the other compounds found in ''Authentic ones'' versus industrial ones. Perhaps because this one is a health drink they have some additional testing involved?

Respect for all these worker's 🙏🏾

This is so cool to see! Back in 2016, I helped out as a temp with the president of Sakamoto Kurozu selling these at a food fair in a Japanese supermarket in San Jose California. It’s some top tier vinegar for sure, I am trying to get my hands on some again since I don’t know if it’s available anymore. 😅

You don't pay just for the product - you also pay for the value of their life, their dedication, their loyalty to their family & ancestry. In an age where people throw away dignity & values for money - these traditional families protect their dignity over money. That is to be valued.

Its not gonna blow your culinary mind, but I feel like it was definitely worth the 20$ or whatever for a bottle. Its gonna last me about a year and I cook with it pretty often.

Ooooh, so that's why its "black", they use brown rice, I doubt they distill it completely either, which also what probably gives it its signature darkness . I actually make my own vinegar's myself not from rice of course, but from fruit, I don't use yeast either. I do it the old fashioned way with the natural yeast that the fruit contain, rice doesn't have very much if any natural yeast within it, that's why additional yeast needs to be added. I have seen vinegars age over time and they really do change significantly in colour, taste and acidity as they age. I have a strawberry vinegar that I have made for example, that was a bright pink after it was first fermented and now a year later its almost lost all of its colour. Its very dark, the only way you can tell its strawberry now is via the smell. Vinegar making is a very lengthy but fun process, I can definitely see how someone could do this for decades. Much respect to this company and this man for still doing this traditionally, because I know from my own experience that store bought vinegar tastes nothing like homemade/ traditionally made, its far healthier and tastes far better, takes a long time but to me its certainly worth the effort.

God bless Japan

If I was a Japanese citizen of this location, I would rent out my land for storage and aging of these pots!. Of course that would be based on several contingencies outside the control of the brewers, such as: Children needing pools, playground equipment, basically just a spot for then to play. Whether I was into gardening ; whether that be floral and ornamental or for growing produce, or even owning Pets / farm animals. Barring those reasons and possibly a few I am not thinking of..... Having rows of those black pots on yiur land is actually an ornamental display in its own right !. It actually has a very artistically beautiful ambience all of its own ! If I had no use for my land I would definately appreciate the beauty of the pottery all lined up on my property! Not to mention the passive income I would receive from leasing the land, of course at a fair and agreed upon rate! Such an arrangement is both beautiful, work free, and beneficial for all parties !!! I mean, I think even the dumbest of party pooping neighbors [ idk how common those are in japan ] can not deny the beauty of those pots arranged in such a way !!! The smell I imagine would even be pleasant a day appetite inducing for any neighbors!

first i thought: respect to the old brewmaster, but then you add in a 400+years pottery family business into the mix 😲just great to see traditions/craftsmanship kept alive!

Like they said, it needs to be in the perfect climate for fermentation to produce black vinegar. Not too hot nor too cold, just the right temperature, and it needs to be 3 years old, like he said, to be perfect 100% black vinegar. You cannot just rush the production of fermentation black vinegar. Another thing, if I'm not wrong, he mentioned he has over 5,000 of them. consisting of 1-2-3 years for each individual in each pot of fermentation black vinegar.

Feels like part of why it's so rare is because of the geographical designation rather than it being the inability to scale because rice is a shelf stable product that could be shipped, the mold could be shipped. Like this specific part of Japan isn't the only place in the world that has this climate. Not saying that's a bad thing and based on time commitment to cost it feels like the price should be much higher than only double.
