Marushige Rakkyo Vinegar Japanese Sweet Pickling Vinegar 1.8L

Rakkyo, a type of Japanese shallot, is traditionally pickled in a lightly seasoned sweet vinegar, making it an essential accompaniment to Japanese curry. This specially crafted rakkyo pickling vinegar is just what you need to create authentic pickled shallots, adding a sweet and tangy flavor to your dishes.

This versatile vinegar is a balanced blend of sugar, salt, sweetener, and traditionally brewed Japanese vinegar. While it's ideal for pickling rakkyo shallots, its uses extend far beyond that. You can also use it to pickle ume plums, daikon radishes, cucumbers, and other vegetables that benefit from a sweet and sour kick.

In addition to pickling, this vinegar makes an excellent dressing for Japanese aemono—small, dressed side dishes like fresh salads, seafood, or sashimi.
