What on earth is sushi seasoning? Can you share a recipe for it?

Sushi seasoning, also known as sushi-su, is a key ingredient used to flavor and season sushi rice. It is a mixture of vinegar, sugar, and salt, and sometimes includes additional ingredients like kombu (dried kelp) for added umami. The seasoning gives sushi rice its distinctive flavor and helps to achieve the right texture and stickiness needed for making sushi.
