Hands down, the best rice I’ve ever experienced


Hands down, the best rice I’ve ever experienced

  1. For years, I’ve cooked Shirakiku’s koshihikari rice (grown in California), but the Japanese market near me in Nashville sells this Japan-grown brand, and I gave it a try…and holy moly, it’s superior in every way. Heftier grain, nuttier flavor, and superior texture. It’s a little pricier (you get 11 pounds for the same price of a 15-pound Shirakiku bag), but I think it’s well worth the cost.

    P.S. I use a Zojirushi NP-HCC10 for my rice.

  4. Best rice I ever had was the rice I had after coming back to Japan after going back to the UK to see my family.

    I had rice and miso soup and it was the best.

  5. Koshihikari is grown all over Japan (and even in California) but the Niigata variety is most famous.
    also worth trying: Akitakomachi (guess from where) and Yumepirika (from Hokkaido).

  6. The best Japanese rice ever is yumepirika, koshihikari is good but it’s just got a little more hype attached to it than anything else….
