While this rice is more expensive than other brands, Nishiki Premium Rice is my go-to because of the excellent quality. I love the 15lb bag because it saves me from frequent trips, is sturdy and easily clipped closed for freshness. Cooks in my Zojirushi the standard time. I also love the short grain for making onigiri (rice balls).

When soft grain is too expensive, this is a great premium medium grain rice. The grains are all consistent in size and color. All the grains are white and some have opaque spots, but beautiful to look at. When cooked the grains are starchy and stick together. The flavor is sweet and texture is chewy. If you want more starch and sticky texture add more water. I like this for making kimbap or sushi.

This rice saves me! It's my staple supermarket rice and since we eat a bag a month, it's super convenient. Perfect for bowls, sushi and any rice dish without breaking the bank.
