Rice vinegar: US, metric & UK cups compared
A “cup” isn’t the same size everywhere, so 1 cup of rice vinegar weighs a different number of grams depending on which cup your recipe uses. The US cup is 236.6 ml, while Australia, New Zealand, Canada and modern UK recipes use a 250 ml metric cup. Here’s 1 cup of rice vinegar in each:
| Cup standard | Size | 1 cup rice vinegar | Used in |
|---|---|---|---|
| US cup | 237 ml | 239 g | United States (most US recipe sites) |
| Metric cup | 250 ml | 253 g | Australia, NZ, Canada & modern UK |
| UK imperial cup | 284 ml | 287 g | Older British recipes |
| Japanese cup | 200 ml | 202 g | Japan |
Unless a recipe says otherwise, US recipes mean the US cup and Australian/UK recipes mean the 250 ml metric cup. The tables higher up this page use the US cup.

Rice vinegar by the spoonful and by the ounce
Recipes rarely stop at cups. One tablespoon of rice vinegar weighs about 14.9g, and one teaspoon about 4.98g, because a US cup holds 16 tablespoons or 48 teaspoons.
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar to grams = 14.9g
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar = 29.9g
- 3 tablespoons rice vinegar = 44.8g
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar = 4.98g
Weight units do not depend on the ingredient, so 8 oz of rice vinegar is 227g and 4 oz is 113g, the same as 8 oz of anything else. That 8 oz is 0.95 cups of rice vinegar — the number that does change, because it depends on how much a cup of rice vinegar weighs.
How many cups is 100g, 200g or 300g of rice vinegar?
Because one cup of rice vinegar weighs about 239 grams, you can convert any weight to cups by dividing by 239. So 100g of rice vinegar is about 0.42 cups, 200g is about 0.84 cups, 250g is about 1.05 cups, and 300g is about 1.26 cups. For any other amount, type the grams straight into the converter above and switch it to show cups.
How to measure rice vinegar accurately
For the most reliable baking results, weigh rice vinegar on a kitchen scale rather than scooping by volume. One US cup of rice vinegar weighs about 239 grams (8.43 oz), but the exact figure changes with how tightly it's packed and the brand. Scooping straight from the bag compacts rice vinegar and can leave you 15 to 20% over, so spoon it into the cup and level it off for the closest match to the figures above. Use the tables for quick reference, or the converter for any custom amount in cups, grams, ounces or tablespoons.
Tip: Check whether your rice vinegar is plain or 'seasoned' before using — seasoned already contains sugar and salt, which will throw off a balanced recipe.
