I say that It all depends on what you are making... If making sushi, i would never. Im all for substitutes but NOT in that case . it would not work,, in my opinion. The flavor of white vinegar is much stronger and harsher than sushi vinegar.
'Sushi', in the traditional Japanese sense, is rice flavored with a combination of mirin (a low alcohol/high sugar rice wine) and rice wine vinegar. However, in America, we call raw fish, sliced by a sushi master (traditionally requiring 7+ years of training) wrapped in seaweed with the above rice and other flavoring components, sushi. Sushi is not a singular dish and comes in many different forms and styles from Nigiri (small ovals of rice topped with fresh, raw fish) to hand rolls.
Rice vinegar is absolutely necessary in sushi rolls. Sushi is named for the sticky rice, which is made with a little bit of rice vinegar. Without vinegar this is just regular rice, and it will not stick to itself enough to make a roll.
A mild and sweeter western vinegar such as champagne vinegar or white wine vinegar will substitute
Sushi is halal (allowed for Muslims to eat) so far it is made of seafood and vegetables and not containing alcohols or pork meat or pork fats.
sushi means sour. it means this because when you add sushi vinegar it changes the taste of the sushi and the rice true story !
Vinegar is added according to individual taste.
Rice with rice vinegar and sugar, and seaweed (called nori in Japanese) are the two staples of sushi. Common sushi fillings are vegetables and fish.
Only if Mirin (a sweet rice wine) is used. While commonly used in more traditional places, not all restaurants use it nowadays to lower costs.
Sushi is sweet. It is a more subtle sweet than other types of cuisine offer. It comes from the rice vinegar added to the sushi rice as it is cooked.
No, 'sushi' is the vinegared rice. You can have sushi without fish, but when fish is used, it is usually 'raw' (though partially picked in vinegar).
Pretty much anyplace that sells vinegar. It will be labeled as "Rice Wine Vinegar" or Rice Vinegar. It has a different flavor then normal vinegar, but you could use white vinegar if you had to.
