Can anyone identify this rice and tips to achieve it?

1. Have you tried asking them?

2. Not sure what grain is used, but cooking in a donabe can create rice like this.

3. Just looks like your regular short grain rice with a lot of extra starch, sticky rice.

4. Honestly it looks like typical short grain japonica that wasn’t washed enough (by washing you remove the extra starch). 100% you can have the same result by going to any store near you, buy what marketing calls *sushi rice*, cook it in a rice cooker with a very very light wash. I know, my first rice attempt looked like that and I hated it haha.

5. What’s the name of the restaurant? Do they not have a menu online that can give clues? Any further context could help.

6. Try pre rinsing until the rice water is clear and use filtered water from a charcoal filter. Let the rice soak like an hour before turning on the cooker. Make sure to fluff up the rice with the rice spatula then close the cooker for a minute before serving. Also avoid the quick mode on your rice cooker. Is your Zojirushi an IH model?
