Traditionally a cook mixes rice vinegar with sugar and salt to their own recipe; a ready sushi vinegar does that balancing for you. The dashi (出汁) here, the savoury Japanese stock drawn from kombu and bonito, adds a rounded umami beneath the sweet-sour tang, a style of seasoned vinegar prized for the extra depth it gives the rice. Tamanoi, founded in 1907, is one of Japan's established rice vinegar makers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 22px; font-size: 0.9rem;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLearn more:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/education\/cooking-sushi-rice-a-masterclass-in-rice\" style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eCooking Sushi Rice: A Masterclass in Rice\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 600; font-size: 1rem; margin-bottom: 6px;\"\u003eWhat does sushi vinegar with dashi taste like?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 22px; font-size: 0.95rem;\"\u003eSweet, mildly sour and savoury all at once. The rice vinegar gives a soft acidity, the sugar and salt balance it into the familiar sushi-rice seasoning, and the dashi adds a rounded, mouth-filling umami underneath. Compared with a plain sushi vinegar it tastes fuller and more savoury, less purely sweet-sour. Folded through warm rice it gives shari with a gentle tang and a satisfying depth, and used as a dressing it brings a ready-made balance you would otherwise build by hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; margin: 10px 0 25px 0; border: 1px solid rgba(127,127,127,0.35);\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border:1px solid rgba(127,127,127,0.35); font-size:0.85rem; opacity:0.75; width:35%;\"\u003eType\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border:1px solid rgba(127,127,127,0.35); font-size:0.85rem;\"\u003eSushi-su すし酢 (seasoned vinegar with dashi)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border:1px solid rgba(127,127,127,0.35); font-size:0.85rem; opacity:0.75;\"\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border:1px solid rgba(127,127,127,0.35); font-size:0.85rem;\"\u003eTamanoi (founded 1907)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border:1px solid rgba(127,127,127,0.35); font-size:0.85rem; opacity:0.75;\"\u003eOrigin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border:1px solid rgba(127,127,127,0.35); font-size:0.85rem;\"\u003eJapan\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border:1px solid rgba(127,127,127,0.35); font-size:0.85rem; opacity:0.75;\"\u003eNet Volume\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border:1px solid rgba(127,127,127,0.35); font-size:0.85rem;\"\u003e1.8L\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border:1px solid rgba(127,127,127,0.35); font-size:0.85rem; opacity:0.75;\"\u003eBest Used As\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border:1px solid rgba(127,127,127,0.35); font-size:0.85rem;\"\u003eReady seasoning for sushi rice at volume\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"margin-bottom: 12px; border: 1px solid rgba(127,127,127,0.35); border-radius: 4px;\"\u003e\u003csummary style=\"padding: 12px; font-weight: 600; font-size: 0.9rem; cursor: pointer;\"\u003eHow much sushi vinegar do I use per batch of rice?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp style=\"padding: 12px; font-size: 0.85rem; margin: 0;\"\u003eAs a guide, use around 100 to 120ml of sushi vinegar per 1kg of freshly cooked rice, then adjust to taste. Fold it through the hot rice with a cutting motion straight after cooking, fanning to cool so the grains stay glossy and separate rather than mushy. Because it is already seasoned, you do not add sugar or salt. Taste a grain and add a little more if you like a sharper or sweeter shari.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"margin-bottom: 12px; border: 1px solid rgba(127,127,127,0.35); border-radius: 4px;\"\u003e\u003csummary style=\"padding: 12px; font-weight: 600; font-size: 0.9rem; cursor: pointer;\"\u003eWhat is the difference between sushi vinegar and plain rice vinegar?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp style=\"padding: 12px; font-size: 0.85rem; margin: 0;\"\u003ePlain rice vinegar is just the acid, with nothing added, so you season it yourself with sugar and salt. Sushi vinegar is rice vinegar already balanced with sugar and salt, ready to use, and this one also has dashi for extra umami. Plain vinegar gives you full control; sushi vinegar gives you speed and consistency. For high-volume service or a reliable result every time, the ready-seasoned version saves a step.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"margin-bottom: 40px; border: 1px solid rgba(127,127,127,0.35); border-radius: 4px;\"\u003e\u003csummary style=\"padding: 12px; font-weight: 600; font-size: 0.9rem; cursor: pointer;\"\u003eHow should I store it after opening?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp style=\"padding: 12px; font-size: 0.85rem; margin: 0;\"\u003eKeep it sealed in a cool, dark place. The vinegar's acidity makes it stable, so it keeps well, though refrigerating after opening helps preserve the dashi and the fresh flavour. Decant working amounts for the line and keep the main bottle closed. A harmless haze or sediment over time is natural and not a sign of spoilage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Tamanoi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36746513711269,"sku":"S0807","price":15.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0353\/5621\/files\/Screenshot_2025-03-10_at_10.33.49.png?v=1741602851","url":"https:\/\/www.sushisushi.co.uk\/products\/tamanoi-sushi-vinegar-with-dashi-1-8l","provider":"SushiSushi","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
