Description
Product Type: Black Rice Vinegar
Quantity: 500mm
Lio Jozo is a small craft brewery located in northern Kyoto Prefecture, founded in 1893 in Miyazu by the sea. The fifth generation, Akihirio Iio, now heads the family business, specializing in rice vinegar made from organic whole brown rice grown by local farmers.
The quality of Iio Jozo rice vinegar lies in the technique developed by Akihirio's father: fortifying their homemade sake with more rice grains, resulting in a purer and richer Junmai sake, containing equal parts sake, water, and vinegar. Then fermented for 100 days, it is aged for 8 months in its wood- and straw-lined vat. By creating a double-brewed rice vinegar, the artisans achieve a vinegar with complex aromas, more healthy nutrients, and a pronounced umami flavor.
The result? Genmai Korosu vinegar contains the equivalent of 200 grams of rice per liter, unlike industrial rice vinegars, which contain on average only 40 grams.
Maintenance tips
To ensure the longevity of your cutting board, we recommend regular maintenance with food-grade mineral oil and beeswax .
- Beeswax : As a preventative measure, apply a thin layer to the surface of the board. Let it soak in for a few hours, then remove the excess with a paper towel. Make sure to use a food-safe beeswax.
- Mineral Oil : As soon as the board shows signs of dryness, generously apply neutral mineral oil. Allow to absorb and reapply if necessary until completely absorbed. Then wipe off any excess. The oil must be food-grade.
- Occasional sanding : Once or twice a year, hand sand with 400-600 grit sandpaper to smooth the surface and close the pores of the wood. Then apply a new coat of beeswax to protect the board.
