Rice vinegar is a mild and slightly sweet vinegar made from fermented rice. It's a key ingredient in many Asian cuisines, commonly used for sushi rice, salad dressings, marinades, and pickling due to its gentle acidity.

Rice vinegar has a milder, less acidic taste compared to other vinegars like white vinegar or apple cider vinegar. Its subtle sweetness makes it ideal for delicate dishes, particularly in Asian cooking, where it enhances flavour without overwhelming other ingredients.

Yes, rice vinegar and rice wine vinegar are the same product. The terms are often used interchangeably to describe vinegar made from fermented rice.

Rice vinegar should be stored in a cool, dark place. Once opened, you can keep it in the pantry, but refrigerating it will help maintain its freshness for a longer period. Always read the instructions carefully as they may differ.

Perfect in every way

Bought these on my son’s recommendation and I’m so glad I did. The soft milk candy has a rich, creamy taste that lingers on the tastebuds for ages. Once tried you will never look back. Also the service from Morueats is first class from price through packaging to delivery. I’ll definitely be back.

Just gorgeous! Real coffee taste. I'm big on Kdrama as seen these on the shows. I've always wanted to try them and they haven't disappointed. I got the original and the capachino flavor. Love them both.

Arrived quickly. Will be buying more. Highly recommend sweets and seller.
