(15 Lbs) Tamaki Gold Rice California Koshihikari Short Grain

Yep, I'm Asian. The average person would think, rice is rice, right? Not so!I've been on a mission for incredible rice. This just might be the best rice on the planet. Upon opening the nitrogen packed bag, I noticed a lovely truffle aroma from the rice. I had to try it right away and I was blown away at the texture and consistency of the rice. The cooked rice is unlike any I've ever tried. The rice does not glob together in one glutinous mass, but each grain is consistently perfect. Not a single broken grain. I would describe the texture of the rice as slightly firm, with a little bit of give. Just slightly "al dente" - like the perfect fresh pasta, you bite into it and it has just the right amount of firmness. I imagine this would be the most amazing rice for sushi, though I have not tried yet. I honestly could eat the rice all by itself with a little fish sauce and furikake. Yes, it's a bit pricey, but it's a small price to elevate your home culinary experience several notches. Do follow the instructions and rinse, rinse, rinse and when your cooker chimes that it's done, switch it off and let sit for 10 minutes. Open and fluff and leave for another 10 minutes... the process is actually quite important, I'm not just being pedantic, it's on the bag.Tamaki Gold is now my first choice for rice, despite the price. Life is too short to deny yourself little pleasures such as this! I put too much effort into my food to have "average" rice. I happily pay more for the best, and this is it.

Great quality sushi rice, tried several store shelf ones, this is the best. Wash 3 times to remove the starch, cook on instant pot on rise setting, 10 min, 1.5 cups of rise + 1.5 cups of water.

Cooked Rice is sticky, works well for sushi rolls.

Very simply, this is the best rice i've ever eaten. I have a large container of kimchi that i've seen.Consider just tossing in the garbage because it has a bitter taste. When I pair it with this rice, it automatically becomes delicious and every time I eat their rice. I have the kimchi also. The rice is just so good that it brings out the true flavor of the kimchi. It cooks up very easily and has a soft chewiness to it. That's just wonderful. And like I said, the flavor is amazing

This is the only sushi rice i will buy!! And i use it for everything as a white rice. Even though it is slightly more expensive, it is so worth it to me for the taste! My partner who sometimes has issues digesting other white rices sees no stomach issues here. We have used this for homemade sushi, crispy rice, fried rice, burrito bowls, you name it we’ve done it and we love it.The grains have great quality

It’s good quality rice and very perfect but there is no rice smell and no flavor

Thank you!

I am Korean and very picky about my rice. These are the tastiest rice I ever had. But they are expensive. Still worth it. 1 large bag should last a while.
