White vinegar is that white wine vinegar?

Question

I agree, rice vinegar probably won't have the right flavor. Wine vinegar would  be a better choice.

Thank you for the reply!  Unfortunately, this type of vinegar (distilled white vinegar) isn’t readily available in Japan.  Plenty of rice vinegar but I assume that would not work for this recipe.  I think I’ll give white wine vinegar a try as the substitute for regular white vinegar.

Usually white vinegar means plain, grain-based vinegar.  It will have a stronger taste.  White wine vinegar would  be more refined, less pungent but I imagine you could use either.
