## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wow product
*by L***2 on November 24, 2024*

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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great taste and texture albeit kinda pricey
*by A***N on May 12, 2025*

Really great rice, texture, taste!!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Rice
*by Z***. on April 20, 2025*

I tried this for sushi, and it worked out great. The rice was sticky, like it should be, but not too sticky. It was also easy to prepare; I just rinsed it a little bit. I will definitely be buying this again.
