Toyama Koshihikari Japanese Rice 5kg

The rice has a bit of a smell when you cook it, but this does not affect taste at all. For cooking, I do the following. For 250g of uncooked rice Wash the rice well so the water runs clear Drain and add to a pan Add 280-300ml of cold water Bring to the boil mix the rice with a fork to prevent sticking to the bottom add a lid to the pan and reduce to a simmer for 10 mins remove from the heat and leave for 45mins with the lid on serve This gives me great fluffy sushi-grade rice that takes on sushi seasoning well and is sticky enough to form into any shape you want. Over all it is expensive but very tasty and worth the extra cost

The best rice ever. I will happily eat this for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Though this rice does benefit from some extra time to prepare. Wash your rice at least 3 times until the water is clear and then allow to soak for at least 20 minutes but no more than an hour. I have found 40 minutes to be ideal. Then into the rice cooker with a pinch of salt in the water. Allowing it to finish cooking and steam for a further 5 minutes past the cook time on your rice cooker. The ideal water to rice ratio for those who don't use the knuckle measurement is 1 cup of rice to 1.25 of water if you soak the rice beforehand. This give you fluffy, beautifully fragrant rice that makes a perfect accompaniment for any meal, or on its own. I tend to keep it simple with the rice served in a bowl with an egg, either a raw egg yolk mixed in or a soft boiled or poached egg and a little soy sauce. I will say, if you're looking for rice for fried rice this isn't it. You need medium groan rice such as jasmine rice for that. Otherwise this rice is good for everything. Because of gut problems I eat a lot of this rice as I find it easy to digest but filling and, unlike basmati which is so popular in the UK, it actually has flavour on its own, without needing any spices. This rice should be a welcome addition to anyone's pantry.

Good quality

Makes extremely good sticky rice great for use in sushi. Was not difficult to make a restaurant quality dish using this rice. Its is slightly sweet by its self making it perfect to use as a low calory filler.

I'm a Japanese living in England and I wanted to taste Japanese rice that produced in Japan after long time. I have purchased Japanese rice that is produced in Thailand which cost 20 pounds for 10 kg. I didn't have any problems with the rice, but this time I decided to go a little fancy-40 pounds per 10 kg-this rice. I checked Amazon Japan for the same product and the price was not that different, so I guess it is a pretty good deal. But sadly, it didn't taste that different from the one I purchased last time. The price of this rice is 2 times more expensive, but it tasted almost same. I guess it is because this rice is milled some months ago (it didn't say when it is milled/cleaned although it usually does.) I think I'm going back to the last rice.

Very good quality rice!

Great taste. A real Japanese rice. One of the best Japanese rice you can get in the UK. Highly recommend.

This is the best and truly authentic Japanese sourced sushi rice available in the UK. Most brands are written all over with Japanese writing, but if you check the manufacture it is usually USA or Italy. The rice is perfect for sushi and sea-weed rolls ( gimbap) as well as for various Katsu dishes or just Kimchi + fried. The rice is sticky to the chopstick but melts apart in the mouth. Only downside is that is is quite pricey. But worth it for the quality. This is a proper Japonica rice from Japan. The nearest lower cost rice to it would be Korean or Vietnamese Japonica (Yum Asia)

夜11時頃ネット注文して朝ご飯をお食べ終わる頃には届きました。気圧の低い場所なので圧力鍋で炊いているので参考にはならないかもしれませんがおいしかったです。

The seller (Super Foods Express Ltd) gives false informations about the weight of the product and only ships only one package (I ordered 10 kg for 49,99 € and only got 5 kg). I do not recommend to buy here, unless you want to spend 50€ for 5kg...
