What are the features of Sukiyabashi Jiro products?
“The key to the flavor of sushi is the rice.” We started by creating our own original rice vinegar and sushi vinegar (made from rice vinegar), which determines the flavor of the rice.
Each dish is made using Jiro’s own recipe to maximize the flavor of the ingredients. Sweetness is kept to a minimum.
No preservatives or chemical seasonings are used. Do not use the product if there is a change in the smell or taste, or if cloudinessy or floating particles are observed.
It seems like the color of my rice vinegar has changed even though it is still within the expiration date.
The color may change over time due to the combination of sugars and proteins (amino acids) contained in the rice Sediment may also form.
It changes depending on conditions such as the temperature and the time (time of distributioned and storage at home).
The degree may will vary depending on the conditions, but there is no problem with the quality, so you can use it with confidence.
How much dashi does one pack of Original Dashi make?
Add one pack to 800ml of boiling water and simmer for 5 minutes over low heat. This will produce about 700ml of stock.

I haven't opened the package, so is it okay to use the product it after the expiration date?
As the changes will vary depending on the storage conditions, it is difficult to give a general estimate, but in order to enjoy the product’s original flavor, we recommend using it before the expiration date.
How should I store the product before opening it?
Before opening, store the product at room temperature away from direct sunlight, as instructed on the label.
How should I store the product after opening it?
Food changes and loses its flavor mainly due to air (oxidation), temperature (high temperature), light, and microorganisms in the air.
After opening, close the lid tightly, store in the refrigerator regardless of the expiration date, and use as soon as possible.
Sushi vinegar contains salt, so it can be stored at room temperature without affecting its quality.
If you are concerned about discoloration, we recommend storing it in the refrigerator.
Please be especially careful with roasted nori.
*Nori does not like humidity.
*When taking out nori that has been stored in the refrigerator, be sure to wait until the bag has reached room temperature before opening it (the difference in temperature will cause it to become damp).
Once you have taken out the amount you want to use, seal the bag immediately and return it to the refrigerator.
*Once you have removed the nori, do not put it back into the bag.
*If nori becomes damp, it will develop an unpleasant odor when roasted, so please use it by boiling it in soy sauce or a similar way.
Is there anything I should be careful about when handling the pouch?
Color may transfer due to friction. Please be careful when using it with light-colored items.
If left wet, the dye may bleed, so we recommend washing it as soon as possible if it gets wet.
Please tell me how to wash it.
*The color may fade when washed, so please do not wash with other items.
*Wash with a neutral detergent and dry in the shade.
*When ironing, cover it with a cloth and iron lightly with steam.
*If left wet, the dye may bleed.
