Marukan Genuine Brewed Rice Vinegar

Marukan is a venerable brand with a history dating back to 1649 in Japan. It is widely recognized for its traditional brewing methods that produce high-quality rice vinegar. While the brand originated in the Kyoto and Osaka regions of Japan, the product shown reflects its strong North American presence.

Today, much of the Marukan rice vinegar sold in labels with French and English (typical for the Canadian market) or English only is manufactured in the United States by Marukan Vinegar (U.S.A.) Inc., based in California. The company remains under the ultimate ownership of the Marukan Vinegar Co., Ltd. group in Japan. This allows the brand to maintain its authentic Japanese brewing standards while utilizing local production facilities to serve international markets efficiently.
