## Description

desertcart.com : Koshihikari Premium White Rice from Yamaguchi, JAPAN 4.4 lb (2kg) (1 Bag) : Grocery & Gourmet Food

Review: It's lovely rice, and perfect for making sushi and rice balls. - First off: it's wildly expensive stuff, so be sure you know how to make proper rice before you start. You would not want to ruin a batch of this beautiful grain. Second: it's crazy easy to work with for making sushi. I haven't made sushi in 15 years but made a bunch of rolls yesterday just to test it out, and everything turned out looking perfect. The rice has an appearance of fresh fallen snow when the rice cooker is opened. Each tiny grain sparkles like a translucent pearl, and they cling gently together without having a sticky texture. In sushi, the texture is nicely chewy, with a delicate flavor that can be enhanced with a splash of rice vinegar. Because of the price, it's definitely a luxury buy but if you like gourmet rice, this one is worth a try. I'll most likely get it again.
Review: worth it - I usually bought rice from the Japanese market in the U.S. Most of the Japanese rice sold in the Japanese market of the U.S. is a Japanese variety grown in the United States, so actually not real Japanese rice. But this rice is grown and harvested in Japan. This rice was excellent. Each grain of rice was solid. The water content of rice was not very high compared to other Japanese rice, (Koshihikari)but I think it was well-balanced rice that goes well with many dishes. (However, the rice has a sufficient amount of water) I think it was also suitable for sushi. The price was not cheap, but the quality of the rice was worth it. And the support of the seller was solid. A manual for this rice was included in the delivered box, and I felt a passion for the rice.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: is this no rinse rice?**
A: No for sushi rice it must be very well rinsed. i haven't used it for any other type of cooking. As a chef I  use different type of rice for different purpose. When 














For japanese cooking and perfect sushi rice it must be rinsed at least 3 times.                                    
 For recipes like jambalaya that cook for a long time where I want the rice to absorb the flavor of the seasoning/sauce I use Carolina extralong grain rice. For Chinese fried rice I will rinse 1 or 2 times cook and refrigerate it overnight the fry it. 
For plain rice that will stay firm and is almost impossible to overcook( i.e. side dish with butter or in soup which will cook for a long time i.e chiicken rice soup) I use Uncle Ben's converted rice. and of course for Risotto I use only Aborio rice.                                                                                                           I am a retired chef of 50 years and I can say with rice, which seems so simple, you need to understand the different types of rice short,medium and long grain as they all behave differently. Hope this helps
















i want rice that stays firm is tender and not sticky, I use Carolina extra long grain rice.

**Q: The product description says this rice was milled in July 2021, its now March 2023, is it still considered fresh?**
A: No, but I had no problems with my 2020 batch as of last week

**Q: How would you cook in rice cooker, how much water?**
A: Recommended water amount (can be adjusted based on preference):  Most rice cookers have a Water Line imprinted on the inside demarcating exactly where to fill to. If you use the plastic cup that came with the rice cooker, it will help to determine how much rice equals 1 cup.  Pour 1 cup of rice into the bowl.  Then fill the water to line 1 on the rice cooker.  If it's 3 full cups of rice, it is recommended that you fill to line 3.

**Q: My question was misunderstood here, I'll ask it again: what's the production date on the package of rice which is for sale now?**
A: This is a generic question.  It depends on the batch of rice.  Please refer to the Amazon product page for details.  Each batch of rice is guaranteed fresh for at least 6 months.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Expensive but Excellent flavor and texture
*by N***I on March 18, 2020*

I am Japanese. The average person would think, rice is rice, right? Not so!!! This is by far the best imported rice I have found for eating rice and making sushi. Good quality, good taste, good texture. A little expensive... but what are you going to do? Best rice in USA period.
