Can anyone on the group please suggest a viable alternative for rice
wine vinegar when creating sushi rice.


Saki?

Unfortunately the person enquiring through me is from Colombia where
thare are NO (or very hard to find) Asian supply stores. If rice
wine vinegar is unheard of there, what hope for Saki do you think?

That person was able to get raw sushi rice and not rice wine vinegar?
There are no good substitutes, however coconut vinegar tends to be mild
enough not to overwhelm the rice flavour. Any other mild vinegar would
work, although it wouldn't taste like proper sushi rice.
