How to Make Sushizu Sushi Vinegar

  1. In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup rice vinegar, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and 2 tablespoons salt.
  2. Heat over low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until the sugar and salt are completely dissolved. This should take about 2-3 minutes. Do not boil.
  3. Remove from heat and let cool completely to room temperature. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  4. Once cooled, add 1 piece (about 2 inches) of kombu kelp (dried) and 1 tablespoon sake.
  5. Gently stir to combine. Remove the kombu kelp before storing.
  6. Pour the mixture into a clean, airtight mason jar or similar container.
  7. Store in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight. This sushi vinegar will keep indefinitely.
