Oh, I've tried. A Japanese cookbook I own has 3 different
'rice-vinegar' combinations. She chose the closest.

I've tasted a similarly subtle Vietnamese iceberg lettuce marinade. So subtle,
you wonder if you actually 'tasted' something.

Mostly correct. Sushi rice is short grained and is considered a
'sticky rice'. Most sushi rice comes from CA, under brandnames like
Calrose or Nashiki. Native Japanese sushi rice is more expensive.

I've had both. The best sushi I ever tasted was my friend's wife's.
She sometimes wrapped her vegetarian sushi in nori (a flat seaweed).
I'd not waste $$$ on it buying it, though.
