Kikkoman Rice Vinegar, 10 Fluid Ounce

Very high quality vinegar. I tried all kinds of vinegar until I bought this and it is the highest quality of all.

The exception here might be sushi rice, which I really don't make, but I think sushi rice calls for sugar and salt, which may be why "seasoned" rice vinegar has sugar and salt in the ingredients list. Regardless, I am not looking to incidentally add more sugar and salt to whatever recipe. Less processing is better, and most recipes that call for rice vinegar, mean just plain rice vinengar. I have a number of different vinegars in my cupboard - rice, apple cider, balsamic, red wine, white wine, and good ol' distilled, and they aren't really interchangeable without changing the character of the recipe, at least a tiny bit. There are some reasonable substitutions - I'd pick mildly sweet and mellow apple cider vinegar, or balanced and mild champagne vinegar if I find myself flat out of rice wine. I might even experiment with one of my more agressively flavored vinegars (malt? White basalmic?) and see if it might be good, understanding that it won't be the same. But in the kitchen, it helps to start with the baseline of knowing how the real thing tastes in a recipe. And then play. Kikkoman tastes good, as good as other varieties I've tried. I think it's worth having a little 10 oz bottle like this in the cupboard, especially if you don't know what the substitution will do to your recipe. And it's really good for salad dressings, so even if I'm not on an asian cusine kick, I have no problem using it up.

Great vinegar with great taste!

Works great!

Plastic bottle :( the vinegar is good though. Nice flavor and not too acidic. Good for onigiri and sushi rice.

Great value, perfect for the recipe I was trying out.

Just the exact same as I've purchased in person

Great to make pickles with
