With a history dating back all the way to 1881, YOKOI is one of the pioneers in the industry and the favorite choice for high-ranked restaurants. Whereas in the West vinegar is mainly used as a cooking ingredient and popular in salads, Japan has a longer and much more extensive vinegar culture. It is even said Samurai would drink it to relieve them from fatigue and to give them more energy. Now-a-days it is an important ingredient in Japan’s most popular cuisine, such as sushi, and dishes including raw seafood or meat; due to its neutralizing and antibacterial features. Furthermore, it is a key ingredient in the pickled-, vinegared- and simmered dishes which form an important part of the everyday Japanese diet.
YOKOI’s rice vinegar is well known for its unique, subtle scent and is used by 24 of Japan’s 27 Michelin Star-carrying sushi restaurants! The company was established in 1937 in Tokyo where they now are the only vinegar manufacturer today.
They pride themselves on their consistent high quality, good flavors and the impact that their products have on people’s dietary choices. They run their own sake brewery and are therefore in full control of the production process, allowing them to offer the best quality possible!
