Delicious
One think people might hesitate to purchase this, probably a price. Well, let me tell you. It is worth it. There are some case and scenario that you are just buying the item because it has the "brand" name on it., but the product is not any better than cheaper one. This item is NOT one of those. This rice is worth it. It is different from other cheaper brand. Trust me. It cooks nicely every time, great texture, and stickiness. Japanese people know what they are doing with their rice. If you are looking for a good quality rice, just get this. You will be happy with this product.

High quality rice.
This rice is really high-quality. It's very hard for me to get quality Japanese rice where I live and this served us great used to all summer. Also would say that it pairs really well in terms of hydration in accordance with my rice cookers measurement guide (Zojirushi)

Real Thing!
Real traditional Japanese short-grain rice. So different from US short-grain rice. Absolutely delicious.

Great taste and consistency
Great product . We love the rice. It is consistently made. The taste is great and we eat it at almost every meal. It is very sticky but not so sticky that it makes a great side dish. It is truly from Japan . This is our second time purchasing it and will keep doing so.

Finally found the real deal! (From a Japanese local)
I grew up in Japan and have tried many "Japanese-style" rice brands in the US, but this Hitomebore from Miyagi is on a different level. The texture is perfect—slightly sweet and just the right amount of stickiness. It even tastes amazing when cold, which is the ultimate test for good rice (perfect for onigiri/rice balls!). It honestly makes me feel like I’m back home. It's a bit pricier than some other brands, but for this quality, it’s absolutely worth it. If you want authentic Japanese rice, this is the one.
