Sushisu (すし酢) is a seasoned Japanese rice vinegar specifically blended for making sushi rice. This essential Japanese condiment from Otafuku provides the perfect balance of acidity, sweetness, and saltiness, which is crucial for authentic-tasting sushi. Its flavour profile is milder than pure rice vinegar, as it is pre-mixed with sugar and salt to save preparation time. Simply mix this vinegar into freshly cooked short-grain rice to create the sticky, flavourful base for all types of sushi, from maki rolls to nigiri and chirashi bowls. For best results, gently fold the sushisu into the warm rice using a cutting motion to avoid mashing the grains, and allow it to cool before use. This pre-seasoned vinegar ensures consistent results every time, making it a staple for both beginners and experienced home cooks aiming to replicate restaurant-quality Japanese dishes. Contains SOY and WHEAT.
