Wash melon well. Cut small watermelon in half. If using cantaloupe or honeydew, cut melon in half and scoop out seeds.
Cut into 1-inch thick slices -- large enough for appetizer servings but not too large to handle on the grill.
Brush both sides of melon liberally with NAKANO Seasoned Rice Vinegar; let stand 10 minutes. Lightly sprinkle both sides with chili powder and salt. OR sprinkle lightly with salt only, then after melon is grilled, sprinkle with fresh mint.Heat grill to medium. If desired, rub grates with a little vegetable oil to prevent sticking. Cook melon slices 5-7 minutes, brushing with NAKANO; turn and grill another 4-5 minutes. Serve warm with knives and forks.

Noodles, rice and potatoes are often smeared with high-fat butter. But we have an alternative: versatile pasta side dishes with the zesty flavor of NAKANO and not a tad of butter.
Cook about 6 oz. small pasta in salted water as package directs. Drain but don't rinse; return pasta to hot pan. (Or heat leftover pasta in the microwave.) Add a handful of cherry tomato halves. Splash with NAKANO Basil and Oregano Seasoned Rice Vinegar and a shake of red pepper flakes. Cook (or microwave) until tomatoes are very soft.
* Use small shells, bowties, orecchiette, rotini or mini penne to make it fast.

No butter, no fat, but lots of flavor! Just splash, sprinkle and stir. That's all there is to making this delicious onion topping for burgers (meat or veggie); grilled chicken sandwiches; sautéed, baked or grilled fish, steak or chicken; and even hot-cooked veggies.
Place a thinly sliced large onion in a large non-stick fry pan. Splash with about 1/4 cup NAKANO seasoned rice vinegar (original, roasted garlic, or red pepper). Sprinkle with garlic powder or chili powder, and fresh-ground pepper or red pepper flakes. Stir over medium heat 10-12 minutes or until onion is soft and cooked, and rice vinegar has evaporated.

Macaroni salad without mayonnaise? Yes! Forget the mayo and splurge with the zesty flavor of NAKANO Seasoned Rice Vinegar. Combine cooked elbow macaroni, sliced celery, diced red onion, whole kernel corn and diced cucumber. We like canned corn because it's more flavorful and juicy than frozen. Just before serving, splash generously with NAKANO and toss together. Other tidbits to add: sliced olives, diced ham, diced green or red bell pepper, capers.
