刘老醯醋坊(云冈石窟店)

Shanxi vinegar is very famous. The Liu Laoxi Vinegar Shop is located in the Food Street of the Yungang Grottoes in Datong. It originated in the Ming Dynasty and was created by Liu Xicheng, a famous vinegar brewer specially hired by Dai Wang Zhu Gui. It has exquisite craftsmanship and excellent taste.

We love vinegar, so we bought two bottles of vinegar at the end, and it tasted great! You can taste it on site, and there are many flavors to choose from. We kept eating the ones we took home, and they were very fragrant, and the taste was completely different from the ones in the supermarket. The price is a little expensive, but the taste is great, and it is worth recommending! I forgot to take a photo.

Very unique, the Hermes of vinegar, 20-year-old vinegar is worth a try

There are all kinds of vinegar, and the processing techniques are shown to you.

🌈Attractions: 📖I first heard about Liu Laoxi Vinegar Shop in Datong, Shanxi, while exploring the food culture of Shanxi. Shanxi aged vinegar has a long-standing reputation. As a loyal lover of vinegar culture, I couldn't wait to embark on a journey to Datong, just to experience the unique charm of Liu Laoxi Vinegar Shop in person. 🚩This shop is at the exit of the Yungang Grottoes Scenic Area. You will see this shop when you leave the Yungang Grottoes Scenic Area and walk through the snack street. ✅"Liu Laoxier" was formerly Liu Laoxier Vinegar Shop, which was founded by Liu Yongqing in Datong Dai Wangfu in 1392. More than 630 years of inheritance have made it a time-honored Chinese brand today. Here, I not only tasted the authentic Shanxi aged vinegar, but also learned about the vinegar brewing process. After 1,000 kilograms of raw vinegar is sun-dried in summer, dried in autumn, and ice-drawn in winter, only one-third of the aged vinegar is left. Vinegar of different years must be aged year after year through this process. This process is not only the precipitation of time, but also the adherence to traditional craftsmanship. ✅In the vinegar workshop, you can experience traditional processes such as turning mash, chiseling ice, and making vinegar, and deeply feel the hard work and wisdom of vinegar makers. In a cellar site from the Republic of China in the courtyard and a museum in the south, more than 100 vinegar-making utensils are collected, which vividly and intuitively reproduce the scenes of koji making and vinegar brewing, telling the history of hundreds of years of time and generations of inheritors adhering to the truth and innovating, and also opening a window for tourists to understand traditional vinegar brewing skills. ✅In addition to traditional vinegar brewing technology, Liu Laoxi Vinegar Workshop has also combined modern food technology and innovative technology to develop vinegar bars including new products such as aged vinegar coffee, ice cream, and chocolate, giving old vinegar "new life". I tried the aged vinegar ice cream, and the unique sweet and sour taste gave me a new understanding of vinegar. This combination of tradition and modernity not only retains the mellow flavor of old vinegar, but also satisfies modern people's pursuit of novel delicacies. 🎟️Tickets: Visit is free, the shop is connected to the restaurant, you can dine and taste Shanxi cuisine. 🕐️Scenic area opening hours: 9.00～18.00 💗Other tips: When you come to Shanxi, you can bring some specialties with you Red date vinegar: 50 yuan First vinegar: 35 yuan Eight-year-old vinegar: 160 yuan Wolfberry vinegar: 50 yuan #Places that are asked about by friends circle #Where to go on weekends #Delicious food that can only be eaten locally #Try the authentic old brand
