Can you use agave syrup instead of brown rice one?

Can't use alcohol. Any substitutions?

I haven't tried it yet but just saw a suggestion to use 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar plus 3 tablespoons water for ¼ cup sake. I don't have sake on hand so will try the substitution. There also are non-alcoholic sakes on the market (as in 0%).
