Made from rice, this light and mild tasting vinegar is and essential ingredient in sushi rice and sunomono (vinegar salads). With lower acidity than western vinegar, it has long been associated with youthful-looking skin and longevity. Vinegar is also known for its anti-bacterial properties and this is one reason why it is often used in Japanese dishes that include raw fish, seafood and meat.

Rice vinegar has a mild, delicate flavour with a subtle sweetness and tanginess. It is commonly used for making sushi rice, salad dressings, pickles, marinades, and dipping sauces. Rice vinegar's mild and slightly sweet flavour complements a wide range of ingredients and dishes.
