Shinmei Sanchi Gensen HITOMEBORE, Japanese Short Grain White Rice, 100% Grown in Miyagi, Japan for SUSHI, RICE BALL, RICE BOWL (4.4 lb.)

Absolutely love this rice. Perfect for all things with great flavor and texture, just the right amount of firmness to chew on while also melting in your mouth.

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.

This is a very prized rice known for its geography and cultivar.

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

Great product. Arrived faster than anticipated.

Ordered this a few times already! In my opinion this is the best rice money can buy. We are rice eaters and my son says he could eat nothing but the rice and he usually eats all of this first!

Good Japanese rice! Shining sticky rice with the creamy rice aftertaste..

I usually order Koshi-hikari rice from Japan because I find the rice grown in America or elsewhere just isn't quite as good somehow. At one point I could not find any reasonably priced Koshi-hikari grown in Japan on Amazon, so I decided to give this Hitome-bore strain a try. I think it's just as good as Koshi-hikari, maybe even a little fluffier, though the difference is subtle. Anyway, don't feel limited to Koshi-hikari when there are other good strains out there.
