Kokumotsu Su (穀物酢), or Japanese grain vinegar, is a versatile and mild vinegar essential in Japanese cuisine. Made by Mizkan from a blend of wheat, sake lees, rice, and corn, it has a lighter, less acidic flavour profile compared to Western vinegars, with a subtle sweetness and umami depth. This makes it an excellent all-purpose ingredient for a wide range of dishes, from weeknight stir-fries to more elaborate preparations. Use it to season sushi rice, create tangy salad dressings, or add a bright note to marinades for fish and chicken. A splash can also balance the richness of simmered dishes or soups. This large 800ml bottle is a staple for any home cook looking to explore authentic Japanese flavours, ensuring you have a high-quality, foundational condiment on hand for all your culinary needs. It's a cornerstone of the Japanese pantry.
