Sushi rice is just as important to sushi as the toppings themselves.

Sushi vinegar is prepared and then mixed into freshly cooked rice.

This may sound simple, but the balance of the vinegar mixture, the way the rice is cooked, how it is combined, and its temperature all have a major impact on the final quality of the sushi rice.

Sushi rice is not just plain rice; it is a carefully controlled preparation in which three key factors are precisely managed: the firmness of each grain, how the vinegar is absorbed, and the temperature.
