Persimmon vinegar (Korean gamsikcho, Japanese kakisu)감식초
Persimmon vinegar is made from ripe or soft persimmons whose sugar is fermented first to alcohol by yeasts and then to acetic acid by acetic bacteria. Traditional kinds use the fruit alone and age for years; quicker methods add seed vinegar and alcohol and finish in weeks. It is less acidic than most vinegars. Made in 4 steps over 35 days – 25 years. The longest step, mature, takes 21 days – 25 years (홍정화 1996) and runs at 15 °C (홍정화 1996). Two acid-making bacteria from seed vinegar, one growing early and one late in the fermentation and Acetobacter and Komagataeibacter in naturally fermented persimmon vinegar do most of the fermenting.
Amounts from a sourceThe amounts are from a 1996 laboratory method for quick persimmon vinegar. Traditional persimmon vinegar uses the fruit alone, with no fixed amounts; one Japanese maker ferments only persimmon, with no added water.

What makes this one different
Persimmon vinegar is weaker than most vinegars. The Korea Food Code sets at least 2.6 % total acid for it, against 4 % for other fermented vinegars, and in a 2025 survey it was the only kind that sometimes fell short.
Kakisu (Japan)A vinegar maker in Katsuragi, Wakayama, founded in 1808, makes kakisu from local persimmons alone, with no water added.
Quick persimmon vinegarSeed vinegar and alcohol are added to heated fruit, giving over 4 % acidity in under 2 weeks.
Safety
Vinegar is acidic, pH 3.02–3.70 in the products surveyed. No safety limits specific to persimmon vinegar were found beyond the Korea Food Code's minimum acidity.
A vinegar maker in Katsuragi, Wakayama prefecture, has made vinegar since 1808, and persimmon vinegar is now its main product, made from local persimmons that do not meet market grade.
