What is Kome Su?
Kome Su is a traditional Japanese rice vinegar made exclusively from fermented rice. Unlike seasoned Sushi vinegar, it contains no added flavourings, sugar or salt. This keeps its flavour clean and versatile. Kome Su forms the basis of many Japanese recipes and is seasoned to taste depending on the dish. It is an integral part of everyday Japanese cooking and is used in both cold and hot dishes.
What does rice vinegar taste like?
Pure rice vinegar has a mild, rounded acidity that is significantly gentler than that of many European vinegars. It has a slightly sweet taste without actually being sweetened and does not overpower other ingredients. This balance makes it particularly suitable for delicate dishes where acidity is intended to add structure without becoming overpowering. In rice dishes and salads in particular, it adds freshness without any sharpness or harshness.
What can I use Kome Su for?
Kome Su is traditionally used for Sushi rice, mixed with sugar and salt. It is also suitable for Sunomono, Japanese salads, dressings, marinades and pickled vegetables. It is also used in hot dishes, for example to season stir-fries or vegetable dishes. Thanks to its neutral character, it is versatile and easy to measure out.

How should I store the product?
Rice vinegar has a shelf life of at least 1 year. Rice vinegar should be stored tightly sealed, in a cool place and away from direct light. Unopened, it has a long shelf life. Once opened, the bottle can be kept at room temperature, ideally away from direct sunlight. Refrigeration is not strictly necessary, but can help to maintain the flavour and quality over the long term.
