This Red Shiso Vinegar Condiment is crafted by Nakano San, a master vinegar maker, using traditional Japanese rice vinegar infused with carefully selected red shiso leaves known for their intense aromatic fragrance. Enhanced with sweet notes of candy sugar for added roundness, this condiment displays a beautiful pink-to-purple hue naturally derived from the tannins of red shiso. On the palate, it reveals elegant notes of red fruits, basil, cherry, acerola, and hibiscus, balanced by delicate acidity and floral freshness.
Use
In cooking, it is perfect with grated white turnips, white cabbage, and vinaigrettes. It is also ideal for seasoning sushi rice, fish tartare, oysters, and seaweed salads. Its fruity and floral profile pairs beautifully with desserts such as sorbets, ice creams, fresh fruit salads, and cheesecake, adding freshness and complexity to both savoury and sweet dishes.
