What I love about Nakano Rice Vinegar is that it’s naturally brewed for a subtle, yet distinctive flavor that you crave for Asian cooking. It’s low calorie, fat free, all natural, gluten free and has 50% less sodium than the competitors’ brands.

Not only can you use it for Asian cooking, though, you can also use it for other fare like baked potatoes for a low-calorie alternative for flavor, on salads, grilled meats, or even hot vegetables…
