Review: Great tasting rice - Possibly the best rice I've ever bought. The taste and texture are terrific. Also the grains are bit larger than most other sushi rices, which I like. The packaging is great too. The small packages with silica packs keeps the rice fresh. The 300g in each packet is also exactly 2 scoops of rice if you use a traditional Japanese rice cooker or similar.
Review: Wow product - So glad I found this rice. I had no idea of the difference in taste from other "good" brands of rice. This rice is super good; sticky; premeasured for my rice cooker; makes great leftovers, etc. I kept ordering more & more, and then ordered some for a friend & had it shipped directly to her for her birthday. She too was in awe in the taste. I loaded up while it was on sale, because even at the sale price this rice is pricy, I guess because of the quality & that it comes all the way from Japan.
