Sushi vinegar plays a crucial role in determining the flavour of sushi. The vinegar, seasoned with salt and sugar, enhances the umami of the fish and creates shari (sushi rice) with a beautiful sheen.
What Kind of Vinegar is Sushi Vinegar?
Sushi vinegar is made by blending pure, unblended vinegar with salt and sugar.

Sushi vinegar
Rice-derived vinegar is recommended for shari!
Sake lees vinegar
Sake lees vinegar is made from sake lees, a by-product of sake brewing. It is characterised by its robust flavour and sweet aroma of aged sake lees, so it pairs well with rich toppings. Shari made with sake lees vinegar has an amber hue and a rich, flavourful finish.
Rice vinegar
Rice vinegar (komezu) is made from polished rice and is characterised by its clean, delicate taste which pairs well with rice. Its mild acidity enhances the flavour of the neta and helps to balance the overall taste. This makes it particularly suitable for pairing with delicately flavoured toppings.
