5.0 out of 5 stars 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars 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.

So here is the story. I am running out of rice have about 3 pounds of rice left last time I went to chinatown to pick uo 20 pounds of thai homali rice really good rice. Best rice they have in big stores. Recommended by my mom. I only took about 10 pounds of rice in my luggage. I double bagged the rice in plastic bags to prevent spillage of rice in my luggage bag. I go to chinatown about once every other month to visit parents and do some grocery shopping. I have all my groceries in a briefcase and a bookbag. Usually come back to kingston poughkeepsie with 70+ pounds of food. So I only took 10 pounds of rice. The rest of bag had chinese sauceage pork belly chicken curry veggies noodles tofu miso paste kimchi and free range chicken breast frozen. That was distributed between 3 bags. So this time around I didn't have time to go to chinatown last time I went was in may. So I was like amazon prime should have rice it has everything else. I was like wow there are some good Asian brand of rice really good prices too. I sent pictures of the rice brand to my mom so she can tell me which one to buy. She told me nishiki is really great brand for stream rice and is good for porridge as well. The yellow bag cali rice brand was mostly good for porridge. So I was looking at the reviews and such there were issues with bugs being found in the rice bags, spiders and worm infestation in rice bag. I was worried and scared about buying the rice due to that reason. So I was thinking there might had been a small hole or tear in those bags. Storage issues at warehouse. My mom told me if you store rice in a wet place bugs will come out of rice bag. So there might be issues. When I got my rice there was not wetness or moisture on rice. They seems to solve the issue at warehouse. I looked at bag before opening to see if there are any insects in them before opening. I poured the rice in a rice container I brought and then mixed the thai homali long grain rice with these medium grain ones. They are really good rice brand and is awesome for making stream rice or traditional Chinese breakfast porridge rice. I asked my mom she is the one that cooks in my place. I moved out and learning how to cook for myself. Any cooking issues or questions I always ask my mom. She told me this rice is really a premium grade awesomr tasting rice. Take that advice from an retired Asian housewife and my mother. This rice bag is worth the price and everything. Also noted if you do get a rice with bugs and nasty stuff in it please don't judge the brand as a whole. You are just freaking unlucky to get the 1/10000 bag that will have issues. Please try this brand of rice and you will love it. Also Asian rice cooking advice. If you have more than one cup of rice (rice cooker cup that is provided with every rice cooker) here is how to get perfect rice everytime. You wash the rice in the rice cooker rinse repeat 4 times. Washing mean you have rice in water then stick hand into rice and move the rice around flip the rice then pour out the water make sure to have hand on rice cooker bowel so rice don't run away. Then repeat this 3 more times. After that if you have 2 cup or more you stick your hand in Palm down on the rice. Press down lightly on rice. Also make sure that the rice is even/leveled for this so the water is even. Once the water reach your knuckles that is the right amount of rice for the 2+ cups. 1 serving or 1 cup of rice you just eye ball it typically for that it is 2 cups of water. Generally more water is better. Advice from my mom generally overcooked rice is edible . Undercooked rice is completely unedible and is waste of rice. Also how the heck do I post pictures of my rice for the review? Order first bag of rice on July 6th got it on july 8th i liked it so much i ordered 2nd bag of rice on July 8th. got the second bag on July 10th no bugs and issues with 2nd bag

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.

The Rice That Sticks (In All the Right Ways)!

As a self-proclaimed rice aficionado, I've tried my fair share of rice brands, but Nishiki Rice is hands down my absolute favorite. This 5 lb. bag of joy consistently delivers a tiny bit of sticky, almost nutty texture that wins me over every single time.

When flavor and texture are crucial in cooking, Nishiki is the go-to brand. Whether you're whipping up a sushi masterpiece or just need a reliable side dish, this rice has your back. It's no wonder sushi experts agree that Nishiki is their number one choice—it's the rice dreams are made of.

One of the things I love about Nishiki is its consistent quality. Every grain is a testament to perfection, ensuring that each batch comes out just right. It cooks up beautifully, giving you that ideal balance of stickiness and fluffiness that can elevate any meal.

Got leftovers? No problem! Just saran wrap them and pop them in the fridge. When you're ready to dive back in, a little bit of water added during reheating will fluff it up nicely, bringing it back to its original glory. It's like a magic trick for rice!

With an 80 Fl Oz unit count and weighing in at 5 pounds, this medium-length rice is perfect for all your culinary adventures. From sushi rolls to stir-fries, or even just a simple bowl of steamed rice, Nishiki never disappoints.

So, if you're searching for that perfect rice that combines flavor, texture, and reliability, look no further than Nishiki. Trust me, your taste buds will thank you. It's no exaggeration to say that this rice deserves 5+ stars—it's just that good!
