Italian Foods Corporation 888.516.7262 www.italianfoods.com Marukan Vinegar, maker of the world's finest rice vinegar, is opening a second brewery in the United States to better service its customers. Marukan Vinegar has more then 360 years of experience making vinegar by slow-brewing sake from rice. The company's smooth-tasting, premium rice vinegar is used in a variety of culinary dishes that complement and bring out the flavors of food. "Our parent company started in Japan in 1649 and was the first commercial seller of vinegar made from rice wine or sake," President Jon Tanklage says. "The Japanese call this vinegar 'Su.' Su allowed raw foods to be transported inland from the sea. The vine- gar would be sprinkled on the rice and be- came a preservative for fish; that was the primitive version of sushi. Marukan is a pri- mary company that made sushi possible." Marukan Vinegar has been producing its products in Japan for 367 years and in Paramount, California, for the past 42 years. The company is currently in con- struction of its new 77,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art brewery in Griffin, Georgia, that will open in July 2017. The Georgia brewery will help the company meet the growing demand for Marukan Rice Vinegar and better serve its East Coast customers. "It sits on 16 acres, so there is a lot of room for expansion if we de- cide to get more versatile and go into different product lines," Tanklage adds. When Marukan Vinegar came to California four decades ago, it served the growing sushi market. Today, rice vinegar has become more mainstream and is used in salad dress- ings, sauces and marinades, as well as for pickling. "The farm-to-table movement, along with the demand for non-GMO and organic products, is helping the high-qual- ity, milder vinegars like Marukan grow," Tanklage says. "A premium vinegar like ours has a balance of flavor and brings out the flavor in food."
