A premium seasoned sushi vinegar made from aged red vinegar and carefully processed to achieve a clear, elegant finish. While transparent in colour, it retains the depth and gentle umami developed through traditional fermentation.

Crafted by the artisanal Mikura Vinegary in Mie Prefecture, this vinegar is slowly fermented to create a smooth, mellow acidity without the harsh sharpness often found in standard white vinegar. It is pre-balanced with sugar and salt, giving sushi rice a clean, refined flavour with subtle sweetness and depth.

Unlike many commercial sushi vinegars, it contains no artificial additives, just fermented vinegar, sugar and salt. The result is a rounded, well-structured seasoning that enhances rice without overpowering it.

Ideal for sushi rice, chirashi bowls and Japanese-style dressings, it also works beautifully in light pickles and seafood marinades where clarity of flavour matters.

A clear vinegar with the character of aged red vinegar, balanced, elegant and crafted in small batches in Japan.

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

Natural sediment may occur and does not affect quality.

Available in 300ml and 900ml

This Japanese sushi vinegar is perfectly balanced for seasoning sushi rice, with a smooth acidity and gentle umami that enhances flavour without becoming overly sharp or sour. It binds the rice beautifully, creating an ideal base for sushi and sashimi.

It also works well in Japanese salad dressings and vinaigrettes. Combine with soy sauce, miso or sesame oil for a light dressing suited to leafy greens, seaweed salads and cucumber dishes.

The mild acidity makes it suitable for marinades for fish, tofu and vegetables, helping to tenderise while adding clean, balanced flavour. It can also be used for quick pickles such as cucumber, radish or daikon, adding a delicate tang.

A small splash in dipping sauces for soba or somen noodles brings brightness and lift to the dish.
