This is my workhorse rice. We should probably all eat more brown rice, but this is too delicious to give up. Fwiw, I prefer moister rice, and don’t love drier fluffy rice as many other people do, so this is my preferred texture. I use this as all purpose, versatile rice-as plain side dish, bedding for Asian dishes, for stroganoff & similar dishes, use for making rice pilaf & Mexican rice, & great rice porridge/jook, & when making soup for gf friends. It’s great payoff in taste just using rice cooker makes it low effort. I love the texture but my main interest is the mildly sweet taste. Good for sushi, but I rarely make it. The difference between this & other white rices is that if I have some leftover, I like it as a snack with either butter or a little teriyaki sauce, whereas I don’t like other leftover white rices as a rule. I do occasionally buy Lundberg California rice for times when I want their wild rice blend, or black of red rice-also excellent but quite pricey. I was surprised to hear some complaints about bugs-I’ve bought this for years & never had a single problem with cleanliness. The price is fair. I could probably buy it for less at local Asian groceries, but after disability, can’t beat the convenience of having ten pound bag delivered. No problem wirh delivery time or condition of product. I repeat-this rice is delicious. Read more
What can I say about the best Japanese rice ever grown in California...don't buy it? As a rice grower, buy mine? Yes, it's dear in every meaning of the word: wonderful, highly valued by me for cooking, comparatively very expensive Yeah, I would like to say all the above, as I want there to be plenty of Kohoku for mememe. It's simply the best, period, bar none, round up the herd and take it to market, it is worth every penny. We buy 120 pounds a year, minimum, so don't you DARE take mine, however. You'll love every bite. NOTE: this is NOT sushi rice, tho they grow and we buy it also.. I never knew til now we ate so much rice, as we also use jasmine, basmati and sticky in much smaller quantities. Pls also try black and red rice, they are special. Brown rice goes down harder to digest. Read more
