Rice vinegar is a mild vinegar extracted from the fermentation of rice. Its color ranges from white to pale golden. It is the only vinegar used in Japanese cuisine, with which numerous dishes such as the popular sushi are seasoned. It keeps for a long time in a cool place. Rice vinegar has a subtle, but tart flavor and is milder than other types of vinegar.Clearspring is a privately owned UK company established in 1980 to distribute a wide variety of traditional Japanese foods that support good health, promote sustainable agriculture and provide economic stability to producing communities.Bought by its current chairman, Christopher Dawson, in 1993, Clearspring has grown in sales and currently distributes over 180 products, in more than 25 countries.From its offices in West London, Christopher and his staff travel around the world in search of high quality products that meet Clearspring's exacting standards. Each product is carefully evaluated for ingredient purity and environmentally friendly manufacturing practices. Clearspring looks for products that are GMO-free and are made with all organic ingredients.
