Carrie: This rice has a wonderful flavor and pleasant texture. Ease of cooking and comes out perfect every time. Pre-soak seems to be the key. Definitely will purchase again.

Ceme: Ordered one bag, didn’t receive. Amazon refunded me. Ordered a second, received! This medium grain rice is very good. No smell when rice is cooking. A bit sticky, but a good sticky. I’m not used to sticky coming from long-grain standard white rice, this is definitely different. Never liked Jasmine or Basmati rice, the smells were too much for me. Hubby loves rice. It was recommended we try the Nishiki Haiga, I’m learning. Love my rice cooker.

Amazon Customer: I love this rice. My sister in law told me to get this specific type when I told her I wanted to make sushi like she does, and she was right. It's perfect. I don't even use any other kind anymore. The flavor and texture are both so pleasant, and it's easy to cook, especially in the rice cooker. 100% recommend.

Jim Zhao: More often than not, I purchase Nishiki Premium Sushi Rice from Amazon, sometimes one-time buy, but most of times, I use subscriptions with get some discount. The rice (after cooked) smells great, though I have not tried sushi. Will plan to try making sushi using this rice. It called "Premium", and I would like to say it is! Glad to see Amazon still carriers this though the shipping cost might be higher due to the weight vs its sold price.

conan: I recently had the pleasure of trying Nishiki Premium Sushi Rice, and I must say it has truly elevated my sushi-making experience to a whole new level. As an avid sushi enthusiast, I have sampled various sushi rice brands over the years, but Nishiki Premium stands out as an exceptional choice. The quality of Nishiki Premium Sushi Rice is truly outstanding. The grains are short, round, and pearly white, which is exactly what you want for sushi. This rice has the ideal stickiness and texture to create the perfect sushi roll or nigiri. It's remarkably easy to work with, whether you're a seasoned sushi chef or a home cook like me.

One of the key attributes of this rice is its ability to absorb vinegar seasoning beautifully. After seasoning with rice vinegar, sugar, and salt, the Nishiki Premium Sushi Rice had a delicate balance of flavors that complemented the fresh fish and other sushi ingredients perfectly.

The final result? Sushi that tasted just like the ones I'd get at my favorite sushi restaurant. The rice held together without being too sticky, making it a breeze to shape into sushi rolls. The taste and texture were impeccable, and I couldn't have asked for a...

Danitzia Guerrero-Tortolero: Muy buen producto, sobre todo su sabor. Muy diferente al arroz mexicano. Satisfecha con esta compra, aunque me gustaría que hubieran más marcas y variedades de arroz japonés.

Stuart J: 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!
