Nishiki Premium Sushi Rice, 80 oz

Do you make sushi? I do ! And this rice works well. Sticks well to seaweed and tastes! Texture is like Japan style, yum! Versatile with other dishes as well. Kinda expensive but we find it quite worth it, and you get plenty of servings✔️

This rice is great. I cook it in my Aroma Housewares 20 Cup Cooked (10 cup uncooked) Digital Rice Cooker, Slow Cooker, Food Steamer, SS Exterior (ARC-150SB) and it comes out great! You really need to make sure you wash the rice very well though before putting it into this rice cooker. If you do not, the starch will collect on the bottom and crisp up causing some rice to crisp to the bottom. It isn't too bad and you can easily salvage 80% of the rice if this happens, but spending an extra minute washing it will prevent this. These crispy parts can actually be kind of tasty too... Pros: *Great taste *Great stickiness Cons: *None Additional Considerations: This rice is sticky and made for use in something like sushi. It is also great just eating by itself. if you want a more loose rice, look at a basmati or something other than sushi rice. Overall: 5/5 stars (>=.5 rounds up, <.5 rounds down) => 5 stars If you have any further questions regarding the product in my review please leave a comment below and I will get back to you as soon as possible.

I got this rice to make musubi, and have not been disappointed. The rice holds together well and has a nice flavor. It would probably be good to make sushi, as well.

I was a little hesitant to give sticky rice another try because for some reason I simply cannot get the texture just right with other rices I've tried. This rice was perfect! The bag says it comes pre-washed, but I went ahead and rinsed it first anyway. It took only a quick 30 second rinse for the water to run clear so it had little to no starches on the outside which is a pretty good indicator it was in fact pre-rinsed. Using Alton Brown's stove top sushi rice recipe worked beautifully with this rice and produced a lovely sticky rice that held together great for sushi without getting gummy even though I had to cool it in a large mixing bowl instead of a traditional wooden bowl. I'm glad I made this purchase and will purchase it again in the future.

My daughter loves rice and our plan was to learn how to make our own sushi, but she loves the rice and eats it plain!

Must rinse this rice thoroughly

I just tried a new (to me) rice and I think Nishiki sushi rice will be perfect for all my cooking needs; not just sushi. So far, it's perfect for "sticky" rice dishes and goes marvelously well with kimchi, but I like it by itself or with a dash of rice vinegar or shoyu. I have tried Hinode, Fuji Mai, and Botan that I found at grocery stores, and I recently began actually thinking about how the rice tastes. Nishiki rice is mild, not nutty tasting like basmati. The short grain holds together well - this first bag was very clean I noticed that it required less washing than other rices. I am not a connoisseur of rice by any means, but I really like this brand.

Hands down my favorite brand. High-quality, never has any issues with insects or other debris, tastes great! Remember to always rinse your rice until the water is clear!
