Nishiki Medium Grain Rice, 5 lb Bag Kosher Certified

Hands down the best Japanese rice out there. It's the Cadillac of medium grain white rice and it pairs well with any Asian style dish. It has a fluffy texture and is both kosher and gluten-free. I've tried other similar brands but this one is uniquely tender and fluffy, once fully cooked, in a way that other are not. This works best in a rice cooker and I would suggest rinsing the rice pror to cooking. If you're a bit of a rice snob like me, then this might be the ideal rice for you.

Resembling pearls in appearance, this rice is rich in natural starches. When cooked as plain rice, it offers a soft, smooth texture with just the right balance of stickiness and elasticity; when simmered into porridge, it yields a thick, luscious base where the flavors meld together in perfect harmony. It boasts exceptional heat and moisture retention—even after cooling, the grains do not harden or dry out, but instead consistently maintain that delightful, springy chewiness.

I am from Japan, so I am very picky about rice. But it is difficult to buy rice at a reasonable price in a convenient way in the USA. But I found a solution here. This Nishiki Rice is great for the value. Close enough to home. It does not stay as moist as home-grown ones the next day though. But you just need to add a little water and warm it up in the microwave. (I hope it will help.)

Making Onigiri that squishable snackable world renown icon is my new crafting hobby. So getting a good deal on solid quality was a sweet surprise. With a nice frosted polish, pearly white, mild aroma, texture cooked is amazing, perfect bite to soft ratio, cleans easily in a normal 3-4 rinse, shipped in moisture maintainence packaging, and packed well in excellent condition. A few more broken kernels than the best but not enough to affect cooking. It's not the same translucency as the stuff pristinely packed in a hard plastic container at $18 plus dollars / 5 pounds but I have no reason to need or want that. The starch level that gives it it's texture means there will be some sticking at the bottom. Use your favourite way to deal with that. Me? I just make Miso soup right away or add toasted sesame seeds to make that flavour work for me. Once cooked it stores well, if done properly, for several days in the fridge. Or longer in the freezer. Follow food safety recommendations for cooling, storing, reheating and eating. As delightful in my bento, a Nori wrap, a snack, or as a desert. Definitely a new favorite. May your rice bowl be plentiful and spiced with love.

Nishiki rice is really good. It's the only rice all the family eats and no complaints. It has a good texture and cooks really well in rice cooker. Not too sticky , not dry, it's the best rice out there that we've tasted so far. You gotta try this one, you won't be disappointed.

Super happy with this rice. If you're looking for a good sticky rice with a low price, this is the one. IMO absolutely out performs some of the much pricier brands. I eat rice at least 2 x per day, %26 sticky rice helps me get it down while thoroughly enjoying it, plus I can eat less total food volume while still getting in the carbohydrates I need. I cook mine in a rice cooker after rinsing well %26 have never been disappointed. Hopefully they start selling a 20lb bag…

Highest quality short/medium grain white rice you can get at a good price. Haven't ever found any impurities, and have had encountered ~32 broken grains over the last 7 years of consuming this brand.

before you boil this type of rice, soak in water for 30 mins, then cook! this type of brand is the best for rice! You would love to eat the rice alone with how good it is ! the best brand for sure

The delivery person was very kind and brought the package all the way up my steps and left the package by my door. He was very kind and I wish he was always able to deliver my orders!!!
