"Vinegar" has long been said to be good for the body. Not only as a seasoning, but in recent years, "drinking vinegar" that you can enjoy by dividing it with carbonated water has become more popular. Is it common for fruits such as apples and citrus fruits and black vinegar? The variety has increased considerably, and various flavors are on sale.

However, this time I would like to introduce some unusual vinegars. People who are tired of the usual vinegar, you are looking for a gift. How about a delicious vinegar that is a little different and is full of the producer's commitment while being surprising.


◆ Yoronjima Kibi-go + Ginger Juice

Kibi vinegar is vinegar made by fermenting sugar cane juice. It is one of the most popular vinegars because it is rich in nutrients such as polyphenols. It is fermented by yeast unique to the Amami area, so it can only be made in this area.

"Yoronjima Kibi-gou + Raw Ginger Juice" is made by putting 100% sugar cane from Yoron Island in a pot and fermenting it with the power of nature, and mixing sugar cane and ginger. There is. The mellow rich vinegar and ginger go great together. The unique taste of raw ginger is impressive. Be careful of the amount of split material as it is for 3-fold dilution. It feels like ginger tea, and you can drink it deliciously even with hot water.


The price is 1,050 yen. In addition to the company's website, you can purchase it at the Yoron Airport stand or at the hotel "Pricia Resort Yoron" on Yoron Island.

◆ Vegetable vinegar "Enoki vinegar"

"Enoki vinegar" from Fuyou Sake Brewery's "Vegetable Vinegar SURARA" series found in Nagano Prefecture. It was developed by a long-established sake brewery as "drinking vinegar", and in addition to "enoki mushrooms", "pumpkin" and "lettuce" are also on sale.

When you lick it, it has a slightly rich finish. The scent of mushrooms is not strong and it is very easy to drink. When drinking, it is recommended to dilute it about 3 times.


The price is 950 yen. Fuyou Sake Brewery's online shopping site also sells a set of 3 flavors.

◆ Pickled roses

I've eaten rose jam, but it's my first pickle!

It is a dish of carefully grown rose petals pickled in the "Yu-chanchi Herb Garden", which is particular about pesticide-free with the motto of making healthy soil. Since the product name is "pickles of roses", the main character is petals (= pickles), but if you break this pickled juice and drink it, it will become a drink with a faint rose scent. No sweetness is added, but it has a sweet rose scent, so you can drink it deliciously enough even if you divide it with unsweetened carbonated water. It is beautiful even if you float the petals on the decoration. The bottle is also fashionable, so it can be used as a gift.


The price is 1,620 yen. In addition to the online shop operated by the farm, it is sold at Konohana Garden (Hita City, Oita Prefecture), Daimaru Fukuoka Tenjin Store (Chuo Ward, Fukuoka City) and TV West Japan (Sawara Ward, Fukuoka City). That is.

By the way, the petals had a strong rose scent, but they had a gari-like taste and texture. It is strange that the petals, which should be soft, have such a chewy texture. It might be fashionable to use it as a topping for party menus.

In order to take in the power of vinegar, it is said that it is important to take it continuously every day. Vinegar is likely to attract more and more attention this summer. Let's take it well and enjoy a "vinegar-like" life!
