WE ARE JAPAN
With over 220 years of history in Japan, we’re bringing authentic and delicious Japanese vinegars and seasoning that bring flavours to life.
NINE GENERATIONS, ONE PASSION
Japan’s No. 1 vinegar company, Mizkan has been sharing the flavour of Japan with the world since 1804.
It began in Edo (now Tokyo), when Matazaemon Nakano first crafted Sake Cake Vinegar to season sushi rice, setting a standard carried forward for over 220 years.
Through nine generations, our passion for authentic flavour, careful craft, and innovation has never wavered, inspiring cooks everywhere.
Today, our heritage lives in every bottle. From the brightness of Rice Vinegar to the citrus lift of Ponzu, the gentle sweetness of Mirin, and the rich balance of our sauces, each is made to flavour life.
We invite you to discover the pleasures of Japanese cuisine, and to share them around your table.

NO NEED TO BOIL VERSATILE
SWEET SEASONING
Honteri gives you the sweet, rich umami flavour of mirin, with less than 0.5% of the alcohol.
Usable in sweet and savoury dishes, this versatile sweet seasoning can even replace sugar - being a liquid, it caramelises faster than sugar and is less prone to burning or crystalising too.
1 tbsp sugar = 1.5 tbsp Mirin-style
From marinating fruit to caramel sauces, Honteri can add a taste of Japan to your desserts.
Help your saucier add umami to every dish with Honteri.
Honteri gives teriyaki sauce that iconic sweet flavour and glossy finish.
