Japanese: ビネガー - びねがー(英語表記)vinegar
Vinegar - vinegar

It refers to vinegar. Its origin is a compound of the French words "vin" (wine) and "aigre" (sour). The ingredients used for vinegar vary by country, such as Japan (rice, sake lees), China (rice), France (grapes), and the United States and the United Kingdom (apples, alcohol). In Japan, Western-style vinegars are often named "vinegar." Commonly used vinegars are apple vinegar and wine vinegar. Vinegar made using alcohol is called white vinegar, and vinegar made using malt is called malt vinegar.
