Seasoned vinegar for making sushi rice and namasu. Makes great Christmas gifts.
Combine all ingredients and mix well to dissolve sugar and salt. Add to hot rice according to taste.
To make 3 bottles: You will need 2 full bottles of Mitsuken Japanese vinegar and one empty bottle. Remove 1 cup of vinegar from each full bottle and pour into the empty one. Add 1-1/2 cups of sugar and 2 tablespoons of salt to each of the 3 jars. Shake and let stand until sugar and salt are dissolved before using.
To make namasu: You will need 2 cucumbers sliced lengthwise and seeded. Slice each half on the diagonal and lightly salt. Toss and taste; it shouldn't be too salty nor too bland. Prepare sauce: Combine 1/2 cup of sushi vinegar, a tablespoon of lemon juice, julienned lemon peel, and 2 thin slices of ginger-slice each piece thinly into sticks; mix well. Squeeze out the excess water from the brined cucumber slices and add to the sauce. Mix well. Taste and adjust seasoning. Add more sushi vinegar if needed.
