Nishiki RICEプレミアム10LB

Good taste and texture

If you're anything like me, you probably thought rice was just a bland, flavorless staple food. I mean, sure, it's filling and goes well with a lot of different dishes, but it's definitely not the star of the show. But then I discovered Nishiki Premium Sushi Rice, and oh boy, was I wrong. This rice completely changed my relationship with this staple food. I was looking for relatively inexpensive, shelf-stable foods that I could fill my pantry with. Never ate rice that much (I always thought it was dry and uninspired). Now, after having ordered Nishiki, I probably eat rice 3-5 times a week. I invested in a nice rice cooker just because of it! First of all, let's talk about the quality of this rice. It's premium for a reason - it's soft, fluffy, and sticky in all the right ways. I used to think that all rice was pretty much the same, but Nishiki has really shown me the difference that quality makes. Every grain is perfectly cooked and separates beautifully, so you never end up with a clumpy mess. But what really sets this rice apart is its flavor. I never thought I'd describe rice as flavorful, but Nishiki has managed to do just that. It has a subtle, slightly sweet taste that really complements the flavors of other dishes. And because it's sushi rice, it's perfect for making, well, sushi! I've been on a sushi-making kick lately, and I have to say, using Nishiki has taken my rolls to the next level. (Pro tip: add just a splash of rice vinegar) But even if you're not into sushi-making, this rice is still a great option. I've used it as a base for stir-fries, as a side dish, and even as a main dish. It's versatile, filling, and most importantly, delicious. I'll admit, I was a little hesitant to pay more for a bag of rice when there are other options, but trust me when I say it's worth it. Nishiki has made me love rice in a way I never thought possible, and I'm pretty sure it'll do the same for you. So go ahead, treat yourself to a bag of this premium goodness, and get ready to fall in love with rice all over again. In my opinion, Nishiki Premium Sushi Rice is the king of all rice, and it's made me a believer. If you're looking for a high-quality, flavorful, and versatile option, look no further. I promise you won't be disappointed. And who knows, it might even turn you into a rice-lover too!

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

Great taste, stays fresh better than most rice we've tried, GREAT quality, and super easy to cook in a rice cooker. Our family has this on a fairly frequent repeat order because we love it so much. Stickiness is better than any other sushi rice we've tried as well. Hands down a favorite in our family. Worth giving a shot!

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!
