[Details]
Have you heard of the premium red vinegar, born in Onomichi? While rice vinegar is the norm for sushi, "red vinegar" was once synonymous with Edomae sushi. Today, high-quality red vinegar is made from sake lees aged for at least three years, and the slightly red rice is packed with aroma and flavor. Founded over 440 years ago, Onomichi Vinegar Company is now attracting a lot of attention for its production of pure red vinegar using 100% sake lees from Hiroshima Prefecture.
Sushi Yakushido, a sushi restaurant in Onomichi with a counter capacity of only eight people and reservations required, uses this red vinegar to create a perfect marriage with seafood from all over Japan. The "Red Vinegar Extreme Tour," a collaboration between these two companies, delves into the true essence of the world of red vinegar. You'll learn about the reasons why vinegar is made in Onomichi through a stroll around the town, see the actual production site, and finally savor a long-awaited sushi course.
