Great-tasting everyday rice. For authentic Japanese cooking, you need authentic Japanese rice, and this 1kg bag of Nishiki rice nicely fits that bill. Grown in California (with the help of the US state\'s rich soil and crystal clear water), Nishiki is a premium, medium grain variety of Japonica rice. When freshly steamed it becomes fluffy and slightly sticky, making it perfect for making sushi or onigiri rice balls, or for serving alongside other homecooked Japanese meals.
