臨醐山黒酢（360ml）

Used a splash in my simmered pork belly last night and the depth it added was unreal, way more mellow and rounded than regular rice vinegar. The 360ml bottle feels generous too, especially since a little goes a long way in dressings and marinades.

The 360ml bottle lasts a while since a little goes far in marinades, and it gives simmered dishes that deep, mellow richness without sharpness. I've been drizzling it over braised pork and the flavor settles in beautifully.

I was skeptical about black vinegar until I tried this one—it's surprisingly smooth and adds a mellow richness to my stir-fry sauce without the harsh bite I expected. The 360ml bottle is a perfect size for trying it out, and a little goes a long way.
