Rice 4.5 kg

Fabulous rice, and worth spending the extra cash as it's miles apart from others

Delicious rice! I haven't tasted rice this good since I lived in Japan. ONLY PROBLEM: you can't follow regular rice cooking instructions when using Japanese rice. Nishiki rice (and all Japanese rice) requires a different amount of water to cook in comparison to other types of rice such as, American long grain or basmati rice. If using a regular rice cooker, the ratio for this rice is one part rice, to 2 parts water. So if you want to cook 1 cup of nishiki rice, you'll need 2 cups of water. After washing rice thoroughly (I spend quite a long time washing my rice, emptying the water and repeating several times. This is what I was taught to do with the rice, when I lived in Japan. See videos for more info). Add salt, water, cook . It's delicious!! Enjoy!

Brilliant rice when cooked so fluffy easy to cook the best. Great value too

Good taste and texture

It's not really what I hoped for, it's a bit too sticky even after thorough rinsing and soaking. Japanese rice are usually quite sticky, but this is even stickier. So it's probably great as sushi rice or other stuff where you need a lot of stickiness. It has a pretty good taste though, so it's not all bad. Perhaps if you mix it with some other rice like jasmine or basmati and lower the amount of water a bit more you'd get a less sticky rice.

Nice quality rice

I love Nishiki Rice because it’s easy to cook (using the rice function in my Instant Pot) and comes out perfectly each time. Pick this rice if you like your rice slightly sticky and I’ve used the rice for everything from sushi, rice balls and even rice patties (to use instead of burger buns). It’s also good for Japanese dishes such as Katsudon, which is usually served on slightly sticky rice and not long grain or basmati rice.

We always buy this rice. Love the taste and texture and if desperate, we can use as sushi rice - though it’s NOT sushi rice!! Very disappointed that the price was increased during pandemic. Unfortunately my local Sainsbury’s did not have this in stock for ages, however it’s normally £13 at Sainsbury’s. Will buy from Sainsbury’s from now on unless the price is back to reasonable levels here.

Excellent flavor. Easy to prepare. It’s near sushi quality. I literally steam this and have a versatile base for almost any dish. It’s a medium sticky rice and not highly gummy like higher gluten rice. I would suggest this for any kitchen or cuisine. A must have stable in any kitchen. Use with kimchi, chicken, pork, beef, sushi, pickled veggies. Really the best I have tasted. Pricing is also a bargain compared to h mart or other grocery stores.

Good quality rice. I will be buying this all the time. Holds together real good. Clean taste.

I took some bad advice from a friend who tried to put me onto some basmati rice, which just falls apart and has absolutely no cohesion. Unfortunately I had a 20 pound bag of it so it was going to be a while before I could go back to my original Nishiki rice. After only using 3 pounds of the basmati, I completely crashed out and threw the basmati into the street for the birds and squirrels to fight over and went back to my tried and true Nishiki.

This is my favorite sticky rice, easy to make, never burns, follow the instructions and you'll have perfect sticky rice every time.

I am an Asian and obviously I have eaten rice all my life for 60+ years. I find Nishiki to be the best rice, if you like Korean and Japanese sticky rice. This rice is absolutely amazing when it first comes out of rice cooker, and it is also quite amazing when re-heated in microwave after being stored in frigid for a few day. I don't believe this rice cost more than other brands. So why not get Nishiki !!!
