Good quality Sushi Rice
5 Stars
Good quality Sushi Rice
I love making nigiri, Maki rolls, hand rolls, Donburi bowls. And have sampled many Michelin starred sushi restaurants. I can’t compete with them, but I can produce sushi as good as less restaurant. I go into more detail in my cookbook, "Four Star Cooking for Friends". Cooked in a rice cooker, I’ve tried many, cheaper versions, and more expensive, imported from Japan, versions. Most of the cheaper, and other US grown were not as good. Some shouldn’t even use the phrase ‘Sushi Rice' as they didn’t have near enough stickiness for hand made nigiri. The imported Japanese versions were twice the price and barely discernible as better. And so, after a little research, I was pleasantly surprised to find this one which is now my goto sushi rice.New Crop not new crop? Sometimes I’ve received New Crop sometimes not, it doesn’t make that much difference. Happy with either.Looking expensive these days, but I’ll stick with it.
