Mizkan Jun Genmai Kurozu
Pure Brown Rice Black Vinegar · 500ml
Japan's most revered black vinegar—aged for depth, crafted for purity. The umami-rich secret behind exceptional cuisine and centuries-old Japanese wellness rituals.
Why Kurozu Is In a Class of Its Own
Most vinegars are sharp and one-dimensional. Kurozu is something entirely different.
Authentic Japanese Craftsmanship
Produced by Mizkan—Japan’s leading seasonings house since 1804. Every bottle carries over two centuries of fermentation expertise passed down through master brewers.
100% Pure Brown Rice (Jun Grade)
Made exclusively from whole brown rice and water. No additives, no shortcuts. The “Jun” designation is reserved only for vinegars meeting the strictest purity standards.
Deep Umami · Mellow Acidity
Unlike harsh white vinegars, Kurozu delivers a smooth, earthy-sweet complexity with smoky undertones. A milder acid profile that enhances rather than overwhelms your dish.
Naturally Nutrient-Rich
The extended fermentation process naturally develops essential amino acids and organic acids. Fat-free, sodium-free, and gluten-free—a staple for health-conscious kitchens.
The Art of Traditional Brewing
A patient, time-honoured process that cannot be rushed
Select
Premium whole-grain brown rice, harvested at peak quality

Endless Culinary Possibilities

Dipping Sauces
The ideal base for gyoza and dim sum dipping sauces—pairs beautifully with soy sauce for authentic depth.
Glazes & Marinades

Wellness Tonic
Mix with honey and warm water for a traditional Japanese health drink—a practice rooted in over a century of mindful living.
