For over 70 years, Tajima Jozo has been a designated producer of traditional Japanese fermented foods in Hyogo Prefecture, a region famous for its premium sake and food culture. Our master brewers noticed that modern diets and busy lifestyles were making it harder for people to maintain their digestive wellness naturally. We created this drink by combining two ancient Japanese fermentation treasures: Black Rice Amazake, known for its nutrients, and Red Vinegar (Akazu), a prized byproduct of sake brewing rich in organic acids. Every batch is crafted in our JAS (Japanese Agricultural Standard) and GMP-certified facility, using black rice from contracted local farms. This exact formula, born from tradition and refined by modern hygiene standards, has become a top-ranked item in the gut health category among discerning Japanese consumers who prefer food-based, daily support.

Tajima Jozo Black Rice Amazake Red Vinegar Drink is formulated with a blend of traditional Japanese ingredients designed to support gut health and overall wellness. The primary ingredient is black rice amazake, a fermented rice beverage made from black rice, koji (Aspergillus oryzae), and water, which provides natural sweetness, probiotics, and enzymes to aid digestion and promote a healthy gut microbiome. Red vinegar, derived from fermented rice, is included for its acetic acid content, which may help regulate blood sugar levels, support metabolism, and enhance nutrient absorption. Additional components typically include water for dilution and natural preservatives to maintain freshness. This combination offers benefits such as improved digestive function, potential immune system support through gut health, and a source of antioxidants from black rice, making it a functional beverage aimed at holistic well-being. Always check the product label for the most accurate and complete ingredient list, as formulations can vary.
