Combine the water and both types of rice in a saucepan. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Decrease heat to medium-low and cook for about 40 minutes, until all liquid is absorbed. Fluff rice with fork and remove from heat. Let rice sit, covered, for 5 minutes.
Transfer rice to a large bowl and drizzle with the vinegar and mirin. Gently toss rice to coat. Allow to completely cool to room temperature before using.
