The perfect rice for making sticky rice! The perfect rice needs the perfect recipe...

1/2 cup rice vinegar
1/4 cup water
4 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt

(This recipe is for 3 cups of uncooked sushi rice!. Cook the rice first...)

You do not need a saucepan! Just mix warm water in a bowl, dissolve in sugar and salt, add the rice vinegar. (ONLY USE RICE VINEGAR!!! Apple or any other vinegar will be too bitter tasting. Rice vinegar is slightly sweet in comparison.)

Pour it over your cooked rice while it is still warm. Mix it well with a wooden spoon or rice paddle.

Next...

Make sushi!!

Hold on 25 bucks for 5 pounds...

Reviewed in the United States on April 30, 2020

I love this rice and always get it. when i saw 25 bucks i thought i was getting a 10 pound bag as per around usual cost. I didn't think id have to look closer to see i was going to fall victim to price gouging... What a shame, i love this rice but cant believe the up charge, there are plenty other rices i will be looking too now. SHAME

Great for sushi rice in the Instant Pot!

Reviewed in the United States on November 9, 2017

Size: 5 Pound (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase

Fantastic for making sticky rice for your homemade sushi! I love sushi rice with SAKE in it, and it's so simple in my Instant Pot ( Instant Pot DUO80 8 Qt 7-in-1 Multi- Use Programmable Pressure Cooker, Slow Cooker, Rice Cooker, Steamer, Sauté, Yogurt Maker and Warmer ), too! Here's the recipe:

2 cups of Kokouho Rose rice
2 tbls Sake
2-1/2 cups of water minus 2 tablespoons of water. (Add 2 tablespoons of Sake to replace the 2 tablespoons of water in your second cup of water)
1/2 cup Japanese Rice Vinegar ( Nakano Natural Rice Vinegar, 12 Ounce )
1/2 tsp sea salt
5 tbls sugar

In the Instant Pot:
1.) Put the rinsed rice into the IP
2.) Whisk all other ingredients in a small bowl until sugar dissolves.
3.) Pour mixture over rice & stir.
4.) Lock the lid, make sure it is set to seal and press the 'rice' button.
5.) Use quick release and then make sushi!

If not using an Instant Pot, follow the directions on the bag :)

Quick tip: When rice is done cooking, spread it out onto a silicone mat and fan it with a paper plate or hand fan to cool it quickly. This will help it keep it's shine and be less mushy than if it cools down slowly.

* I made my rolls with smoked salmon, imitation crab meat, & avocado, then sprinkled with black & white sesame seeds and served with sriracha mayo and a dab of wasabi. I roll it with a bamboo mat that came FREE with my Nori Seaweed ( Nagai Deluxe Sushi Nori Full Sheet 50 Count + Wel Pac Sushimaki SU BAMBOO MAT 9.5"X9.5" ), because the Sushi Bazooka ( Sushi bazooka by Sushedo. Sushi Roll making kit [BEST QUALITY ON THE MARKET] Sushi bazooka sushi maker tube ) uses SO MUCH rice.

I dip it all in Braggs ( Bragg Liquid Aminos, 32 oz ) instead of soy sauce because it tastes the same to me and it makes for such an amazing & healthy meal! I sometimes mix this rice half and half with brown rice ( Lundberg Short Grain Rice, Brown, 32 Ounce ) in the same recipe for a healthier twist. I hope it inspires someone!

Great for sushi and onigiri

Reviewed in the United States on June 11, 2020

Size: 5 Pound (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase

It does exactly what it is supposed to do: it makes rice that stays intact after cooking yet absorbs the liquid flavorings, and it’s an affordable brand. My teen loves onigiri the way most kids love pizza. I think she’d eat them every single meal if they were available, so I make a lot of sushi rice. This brand is good and doesn’t cost a ridiculous amount. I’ll buy the super premium stuff for a special occasion, but this brand works for everyday. It has a nice flavor that comes through even with the sweet/salty/sour sushi rice flavoring, but the best part is that each grain stays whole and that gives the onigiri and sushi the right texture. The grains will stick together without turning to mush as long as you follow the directions. I did modify the cooking time to 8-10 minutes moderate heat after it comes to a boil, then take it off heat and let it sit for 5-10 minutes to finish cooking. That’s probably because my stove is old and heats very unevenly.

Nice Rice

Reviewed in the United States on April 18, 2020

Size: 5 Pound (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase

First time I purchased this rice. I usually use Calrose but at this time of all the shortages it wasn't available. I wasn't sure about cooking it in my electric rice cooker and using its measurement but it worked fine. It's a sticky rice and that is exactly what I want and tastes amazing. I'm not sure the price I paid is a normal price or an adjusted price during the shortage but it was expensive. That will be the deciding fact to buy again when times are normal!

Great product if you want to make your own rolls

Reviewed in the United States on July 12, 2020

Size: 5 Pound (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase

The pandemic has brought changes to our lives. One of the biggest changes for my wife and I was not being able to go out for Sushi at least one a week.
I decided that I could try and make my own, being very careful not to use substitutes for sushi grade products. I wasn't sure what to expect with the rice, but I found this product to be exceptional.
The instructions were crystal clear and this made the project extremely easy.
We have enjoyed home made sushi multiple times and each time, this product lived up to my high standards.

Cooks well and tastes delicious!

Reviewed in the United States on August 10, 2017

Size: 5 Pound (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase

I LOVE this rice. It tastes absolutely delicious and is so EASY to make.

Best way I've found to cook this:
Water to rice: 1:1
Heat water and rice on high until you see bubbles creeping the edge.
Immediately close and turn to lowest heat.
Cook for 10 mins exactly.
Remove from heat and enjoy!

Also, I love the packaging on this rice. It's beautiful. (Added bonus.)

Best white rice to stove-top cook

Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2020

Size: 5 Pound (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase

Rice is a common factor in our diet (athletes) and time is of the essence. This is the best rice for anything (chicken, veggies, beans, alone). It's sticky rice which is made for sushi however because of it's texture, it stays soft and moist for an entire week (I cook 4 cups at a time with 6 cups of water - boil the water than set timer to 15 minutes, put a lid over pot on simmer - comes out perfect!). Indian and Mexican rices are only good the day of making; not leftovers where the rice gets horribly hard and dry. Also the flavor is wonderfully earthy (light taste) and I enjoy it alone for a quick 1/2 cup breakfast with eggs or fruit.

Favorite Rice!

Reviewed in the United States on December 12, 2014

Great for any meal that requires sticky rice. It says no rinse needed but that would go against everything I know; three times before you cook.

Okay rice

Reviewed in the United States on November 19, 2020

Size: 5 Pound (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase

There is nothing wrong with the rice itself, but do not follow the directions on the package. I found the ratios were off and it did not make good rice. It was way too crunchy. Also, do wash the rice. I tried it without washing when I made it right and it wasn't as good. My perfect ratio is 1 cup of washed rice to 1.25 cups water. Best results are in an instapot.

Great for anything, not just sushi

Reviewed in the United States on August 26, 2021

Size: 5 Pound (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase

I really enjoy the texture of this rice to the more traditional varieties.Very fluffy and even cooking, it goes great as a plain side dish and works well as a base for other rice recipes. We originally bought it for homemade sushi and it worked well, our rolling skill was the biggest limitation after preparing the rice according to the traditionalsushi technique.
