The exterior of Iio Brewery's "Fuji Vinegar"
What is "Fuji Vinegar"?
Hello, I'm Takada, manager of Fusubon and Daikanyama store manager! The other day, I heard that we could tour the brewery at Iio Brewery, so I went to Miyazu City in northern Kyoto with the owner.
The exterior of Iio Brewery's "Fuji Vinegar" When you think of Iio Brewery, you think of "Fuji Vinegar." From a small vinegar shop that was founded 26 years ago, they want to make the best vinegar in Japan. "Fuji Vinegar" was named with that idea in mind.During the tour of the brewery, we were able to hear about the production process and the attention to detail that goes into Iio Brewery (Fuji Vinegar).

Fuji Vinegar's Commitment
The main points of Fujisu vinegar are:
・All rice is grown in-house without pesticides
・We do not use any herbicides, which are usually used in rice cultivation, and we use a special method using paper (we also custom-make rice planting machines) to carry out the rice planting and harvesting every year with contracted farmers and dozens or even hundreds of volunteers.
・It takes as little as 8 months from the time the vinegar is made until it can be shipped, but on average it takes 1 year and 3 months!
*At major manufacturers, vinegar usually takes 1-2 days to ferment, and including the maturation period, it usually takes about a month to ship.
・The vinegar that uses the most rice in Japan. Fuji Vinegar uses 200g of rice per liter, and Fuji Vinegar Premium uses a whopping 320g of rice per liter.
*Major manufacturers say that they use 40g of rice per liter of vinegar.
・The cost of raw materials is more than 10 times higher than that of major manufacturers, and the quality and quantity are different.
・The actual price of vinegar is only 2.5 times higher
・The brewery will be visited by chefs from Michelin-starred restaurants and overseas who use Fuji Vinegar.

I think you can see how much care has been taken in making Fuji Vinegar and why it is being sold at such an incredible price. 
A full lineup of Iio Brewery products At the end of the tour of the brewery, we had the opportunity to compare a variety of vinegars.
I was impressed by the thoroughness of each product and their profound health benefits, and afterwards I purchased my favorite type of Fuji vinegar at the attached shop.
*By the way, there is also a product called Fuji Temaki Sushi Vinegar that does not contain sugar .
