This is the best Asian-style vinegar I've ever tried. It's so flavorful and versatile. I use it in everything from marinades to salad dressings.

This vinegar is a little too strong for my taste. I think I'll dilute it with some water before using it.

Not a fan of this vinegar. The flavor was just okay and it didn't really add anything to my dishes.
