Kurozu is Japanese black vinegar made using a 200-year-old technique of naturally fermenting ingredients outdoors in giant clay pots. It takes at least a year until it’s complete, with some of the best batches aging from three to five years. Sakamoto Kurozu, Inc. is one of eight vinegar makers that haven’t changed the process.
