About this item

5 lb. bag
When flavor and texture of the rice is crucial in cooking, Nishiki is the brand people look to.
This along with consistent quality has made Nishiki the most popular rice brand today. Sushi experts agree that Nishiki is their number one choice.
If you have leftover rice, put it away by saran wrapping it and refrigerating until it is time to eat again. When reheating, adding some water to the rice will fluff it up

Tasty, sticky, good quality, good value. Perfect in rice cookers. Great for Japanese-style dishes.

Reviewed in the United States on October 12, 2024

We really like this brand of medium grain rice. It cooks well in rice cookers, following cooker instructions. When it is cooked and allowed to sit, the rice is ready to serve. It tastes great hot or cold. Older and more stale cooked rice can be served fried, with other ingredients for a tasty Japanese side dish.

The rice is of good value and its quality is excellent. It is perfect for many Japanese-style dishes, e.g., sushi, which requires rice that will stick well and hold together. We have never experienced seeing insects in our bags.

Reliable Rice for Consistently Great Dishes

Reviewed in the United States on October 10, 2024

The first thing that struck me about VOSS Premium Still Water is its sophisticated presentation. The iconic bottle design, made from BPA-free and recyclable PET plastic, is sleek and minimalist, making it not only a functional hydration solution but also a stylish accessory. The wide mouth of the bottle makes it practical for those who enjoy infusing their water with fruits or herbs. I often add slices of lemon or cucumber, and the result is a refreshing drink that’s perfect for long workdays or a post-gym cool-down.

In terms of taste, VOSS stands out with its crisp and pure flavor. The water is sourced from deep underground and is free from the mineral-heavy aftertaste you might find in other brands. It’s consistently clean, with a lightness that doesn’t overwhelm the palate. I’ve used it in everything from drinking straight to making tea or coffee, and it performs well across all uses without any noticeable residue or flavor alteration. This makes it an excellent choice for both casual hydration and more delicate culinary needs, such as preparing soups or broths where the quality of water can influence the final dish.

One of the best features of VOSS is its portability. The lightweight bottle design is durable enough for everyday use but still manages to fit into most cupholders and gym bags. I take these bottles everywhere—whether I’m heading to the office, packing them for a day at the beach, or keeping a few in the car for road trips. It’s especially useful for outdoor activities like hiking since the bottle doesn’t add unnecessary weight, yet the volume (16.9 oz) is sufficient for staying hydrated without having to constantly refill.

Storage is equally hassle-free. The 24-pack ensures I always have a supply of clean, refreshing water on hand. Unlike some bulk water brands, the VOSS bottles stack easily, saving space in the pantry or refrigerator. There’s also no worry about any leakage or compromised bottle integrity during transport or storage. This bulk option is not only economical but also eco-conscious, given the recyclable nature of the PET material.

For those looking for a balance of style, convenience, and premium taste, VOSS water is a clear standout. Whether you’re sipping it during a fancy dinner party or carrying it to your next workout, it offers quality you can taste with a design you’ll appreciate.

Sticky Rice!!

Reviewed in the United States on September 25, 2024

We love the Nishiki Premium Rice! The taste, quality, and value are excellent. It’s perfect for making sushi, with just the right amount of stickiness and texture. It also works great for fried rice, holding up well without being too dry or mushy. Overall, it’s our go-to rice for both everyday meals and special dishes.

Excellent quality and value

After buying a 1lb bag of sushi rice at my local Publix and getting hooked on it, I knew I needed a more financially realistic option. Enter Nishiki Premium Rice. The reviews are spot on: this rice is of excellent quality. It arrived nicely packaged with no tears in the package or grains in the box (which sometimes happens with other foods). I cook my rice directly on the stovetop, so I was able to compare the fancy, expensive California sushi rice from my grocery store with this brand using the same cooking method. The Nishiki was even better than my original brand. Very clean, as you can see in the video. Good-sized grains. Nice and sticky. It freezes and reheats well, too. This will be my go-to sushi rice from now on.

One tip: If you're cooking it in a pot on the stove, you'll probably want to add a bit more water than the directions state. I add an extra 1/4 for the 4 serving option.

Good rice, seems longer grained than I remember

Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2024

I was getting this rice consistently for a while. It's a good basic rice that can go with anything and is easy to digest. It tastes mild, and has a nice sticky texture. The rice cooks pretty soft depending on the water I usually add a few more tablespoons in my rice cooker. This bag I received was good, but the grains seemed way longer than I'm used to. It was quite puzzling, they cooked fine and tasted good though. It's definitely not quite sushi rice though, I prefer a chewier, shorter grain. I do appreciate that it's California rice and it's relatively clean, I wash it but not much rice milk comes off. I always let my rice sit for at least a half hour in the water before cooking and usually add a pinch of salt especially since I use filtered water. For the price this is a really great value! So much better that buying locally it shocks me the local stores doubled and even tripled their nishiki rice prices.
