A gentle sweetness that embraces the acidity, finishing clean and balanced on the palate — the authentic Japanese Sushi-Meshi standard that elevates the natural sweetness of freshly cooked white rice.

Japanese Traditional Brewing · Tradición Japonesa

At the heart of Kikkoman Seasoning for Sushi Rice is naturally fermented rice vinegar (Komezu, 米酢). In Japan, carefully milled rice is combined with koji (rice malt) to undergo an initial alcohol fermentation, followed by the addition of acetic acid bacteria for a second slow fermentation — a two-stage natural fermentation process. This mirrors the European tradition of wine fermenting into wine vinegar, but with rice as the starting ingredient, yielding a flavour profile uniquely characteristic of East Asia.

The resulting rice vinegar is pre-blended with cane sugar and salt in the golden ratio of Japanese home cooking. Simply pour over freshly cooked warm rice and fold to create authentic Sushi-Meshi (寿司飯, sushi rice) without the need to measure and balance acidity, sweetness, and saltiness each time — the trusted standard seasoning in Japanese homes and sushi restaurants.

Just as sauerkraut or wine vinegar in Europe develops deep flavour through natural fermentation, Japanese rice vinegar is equally a product of time and microorganisms. Note that this product is a blended seasoning (seasoned rice vinegar) composed of vinegar, water, sugar, and salt — the fermentation is fully completed at the rice vinegar stage. Founded in 1917 in Noda, Japan, Kikkoman has upheld this tradition for over a century.

Japanese-Style Uses · Estilo Japonés

Classic Japanese dishes enjoyed at home with Kikkoman Seasoning for Sushi Rice — it all begins with pouring over freshly cooked warm rice and folding it in.

Sushi
寿司
Japan's most iconic dish. Add approximately 2 tablespoons of this product to one bowl of freshly cooked white rice and fold with a rice paddle to create Sushi-Meshi (sushi rice). From nigiri topped with fresh fish or tamagoyaki, to nori-wrapped maki rolls, to colourful chirashi-zushi — all begin with this one seasoned rice.
Maki
巻き寿司
A Japanese classic: spread Sushi-Meshi thinly over a sheet of nori, top with cucumber, avocado, salmon, or crab sticks, and roll firmly with a bamboo mat. Rice seasoned with this product holds together with just the right stickiness while keeping each grain distinct, resulting in clean, neat slices. One of the most popular Japanese dishes to make at home.
Chirashi
ちらし寿司
Literally "scattered sushi" — seasoned Sushi-Meshi topped with an artful arrangement of sashimi, tamagoyaki, prawns, lotus root, and more. A celebratory Japanese dish traditionally enjoyed on special occasions such as Hinamatsuri (Girls' Day). A single bowl creates a generous and festive Japanese table.
Onigiri
おにぎり
Japan's beloved hand-held rice ball. While traditionally made with plain white rice, shaping Onigiri with rice lightly seasoned with this product keeps the flavour fresh over time — ideal for bento (Dosirak) or picnics. Fill with umeboshi (pickled plum), salmon, or simmered kombu, then wrap with nori.
Inari
稲荷寿司
Sweetly simmered tofu pouches filled with seasoned sushi rice — a beloved Japanese home-style sushi. The sweet-and-tangy flavour of Sushi-Meshi made with this product pairs beautifully with the sweetness of the tofu pouch, making it a perennial favourite in bento boxes for all ages. Commonly found in convenience stores and bento shops throughout Japan.
Sunomono
酢の物
Literally "things dressed in vinegar" — a refreshing Japanese side dish. Simply drizzle this product over thinly sliced cucumber, wakame seaweed, or octopus for a clean and bright Japanese home-style side dish. Served alongside rich tempura or donburi, it refreshes the palate between bites.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is Kikkoman Seasoning for Sushi Rice, and how is it different from regular vinegar?

Kikkoman Seasoning for Sushi Rice is a dedicated sushi seasoning with rice vinegar (31%), sugar, and salt pre-blended in the optimal ratio. Unlike plain vinegar (such as wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar), which provides only acidity, this product combines sweetness and saltiness in a balanced blend ready to use directly on sushi rice (Shari). Think of it like using a ready-made salad dressing instead of mixing your own from scratch — it is a complete, ready-to-use seasoning for sushi rice. No need to measure and adjust sugar and salt separately; simply mix into rice and you are done.

Is this product suitable for a Vegan and Gluten-Free diet?

Yes, Kikkoman Seasoning for Sushi Rice 300ml is fully suitable for vegan and vegetarian diets. The ingredients consist solely of water, rice vinegar (31%), sugar, and salt — no animal-derived ingredients whatsoever. It has also been confirmed as a gluten-free product. However, as ingredients may vary between production batches, please always check the actual product label at the time of purchase. Halal certification has not been confirmed at this time; those requiring a halal diet should exercise caution.

The sodium (salt) content seems high — is it safe to consume?

Kikkoman Seasoning for Sushi Rice contains 7.5g of salt per 100ml, which may appear high at first glance. However, this product is not consumed in large quantities — it is a seasoning used at approximately 3 tablespoons (45ml) per 300g of rice. Just as soy sauce or fish sauce has a very high sodium content per 100ml yet is used in small amounts, the actual intake per serving of this product is very modest. Those managing sodium intake can simply reduce the amount used to suit their needs.

What dishes can I use this seasoning for beyond sushi?

This seasoning can be used in a wide variety of dishes beyond sushi rice (Shari). Key uses include: ① Gimbap rice — mixing this product into rice when making Korean-style Gimbap adds a richer depth of flavour. ② Onigiri (rice balls) — use when shaping triangular rice balls. ③ Poke Bowl — use as the base rice for Hawaiian-style Asian salad bowls. ④ Asian-style dressing — add a small amount to salad dressings for a subtle sweetness and acidity. Please note that this product is not a fermented food or probiotic product; it is a blended seasoning based on rice vinegar.

How should I store it after opening, and what is the shelf life?

Before opening, Kikkoman Seasoning for Sushi Rice can be stored at room temperature in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. After opening, it is recommended to seal the cap tightly and refrigerate. As vinegar is a natural preservative, the shelf life is relatively long, but once opened it is best used within approximately 6 months to 1 year when refrigerated. Check the "Best Before" date on the product label for the exact shelf life. If the colour changes or an unusual odour develops during storage, discontinue use.
