Whole-grain brown rice undergoes a two-stage natural fermentation — first alcoholic fermentation, then acetic acid fermentation — yielding a deep, rounded flavour where the gentle sweetness of the grain meets a clean, bright acidity. Because only half the amount is needed compared to regular vinegar, you can faithfully recreate the depth of authentic Korean Kimchi, seasoned vegetables (Namul), Naengmyeon, and Cho-ganjang dipping sauce right at home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- 1.5a Diet\/Fermented icons + origin flag --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"dotasia-section\" style=\"padding: 16px 0 !important;\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"dotasia-container\"\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"dotasia-diet-icons\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"dotasia-diet-icon\"\u003e\n      \u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0954\/3614\/4965\/files\/dotasia-diet-fermented.png?v=1777377582\" alt=\"Fermented\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n      \u003cspan class=\"dotasia-diet-icon-label\"\u003eFermented\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"dotasia-diet-icon\"\u003e\n      \u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0954\/3614\/4965\/files\/dotasia-diet-glutenFree.png?v=1777377579\" alt=\"Gluten-Free\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n      \u003cspan class=\"dotasia-diet-icon-label\"\u003eGluten-Free\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"dotasia-diet-icon\"\u003e\n      \u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0954\/3614\/4965\/files\/dotasia-diet-vegan.png?v=1777377588\" alt=\"Vegan\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n      \u003cspan class=\"dotasia-diet-icon-label\"\u003eVegan\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"dotasia-diet-icon\"\u003e\n      \u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0954\/3614\/4965\/files\/dotasia-dairyFree.png?v=1777379720\" alt=\"Dairy-Free\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n      \u003cspan class=\"dotasia-diet-icon-label\"\u003eDairy-Free\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"dotasia-diet-icon dotasia-diet-flag\"\u003e\n      \u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0954\/3614\/4965\/files\/dotasia-flag-korea.png?v=1777379724\" alt=\"Korea\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n      \u003cspan class=\"dotasia-diet-icon-label\"\u003eKorea\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- 1.5b Highlights --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"dotasia-section\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"dotasia-container\"\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"dotasia-highlights\"\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"dotasia-highlights-title\"\u003eAt a Glance · Highlights\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"dotasia-highlights-row\"\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"dotasia-highlights-key\"\u003eFermentation\u003c\/div\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"dotasia-highlights-val\"\u003eTwo-stage natural fermentation \u003cspan class=\"km-en\"\u003eNaturally Fermented\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"dotasia-highlights-row\"\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"dotasia-highlights-key\"\u003eGluten-Free\u003c\/div\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"dotasia-highlights-val\"\u003eContains no gluten \u003cspan class=\"km-en\"\u003eSin Gluten · Gluten-Free\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"dotasia-highlights-row\"\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"dotasia-highlights-key\"\u003eVegan\u003c\/div\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"dotasia-highlights-val\"\u003e100% plant-based \u003cspan class=\"km-en\"\u003eVegano · Vegan\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"dotasia-highlights-row\"\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"dotasia-highlights-key\"\u003eDairy-Free\u003c\/div\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"dotasia-highlights-val\"\u003eNo dairy ingredients \u003cspan class=\"km-en\"\u003eSin Lactosa · Dairy-Free\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"dotasia-highlights-row\"\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"dotasia-highlights-key\"\u003eLow-Fat\u003c\/div\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"dotasia-highlights-val\"\u003eLow-fat product \u003cspan class=\"km-en\"\u003eBajo en Grasa · Low-Fat\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"dotasia-highlights-row\"\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"dotasia-highlights-key\"\u003eLow-Sodium\u003c\/div\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"dotasia-highlights-val\"\u003eLow sodium \u003cspan class=\"km-en\"\u003eBajo en Sal · Low-Sodium\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"dotasia-highlights-row\"\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"dotasia-highlights-key\"\u003eOrigin\u003c\/div\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"dotasia-highlights-val\"\u003eImported directly from Korea \u003cspan class=\"km-en\"\u003eDirect from Korea\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- 2.
