Kikkoman Rice Vinegar, 10 Fluid Ounce

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 product

Not much to say here. Whether it's a good value for the money depends on what price you get it at, but it was as expected, and there were no issues with the taste. I'm not enough of a rice vinegar expert to comment on how authentic or typical or atypical its flavor is.Arrived undamaged and exactly matches what's shown in the product description.

Good quality and taste

I thought it was very good the truth, I saved myself having to do the whole process.

I'm satisfied with the purchase. Taste fine.

Added good flavor to meals

Just what I ordered!
