I Sushi Premium Sushi Rice 5kg

Definitely saved me a bunch of money, time and energy. Quality is good and it costs me much less this way than constantly buying a small bag at the store. Would recommend

Love this and the price. It taste much better than jasmine rice. Great for making rice balls for kids too

It's not sushi rice, but it's a very high quality sticky rice. And at a very good price. High quality proper sushi rice goes £30/5kg, so naturally this is not sushi rice, the branding in English is called i Sushi Premium for some reason but not in Chinese... Might be a bad translation. The rice, properly cooked is fluffy and sweet. Has a very soft texture and cooks as new rice, not old. At least all the batches I got. I used to buy another brand but I'm staying with this one for the time being.

Reviewed September 2024: Considering the price, this is very good value. There are better options out there, but when they cost 3 times the price, this is excellent value. For reference, I do get to Japan for work a couple of times a year, and I do come home with rice from the super market, so we're spoilt a little, but this is fine when we've ran out (we get through about 30 kgs of rice a year) We cook this with a rice cooker, and use it as 'day to day' rice, we have not made sushi with it, and its unlikely we ever will. We noticed that the grains are on the smaller size compared to some other options, and there seemed to be a lot of broken grains also. It needs a good wash before cooking, and its better with a mix of about 1 1/4-1 1/2 parts water to one part rice. It tastes fine, even my (very) fussy wife doesn't mind it, although it doesn't seem particularly sticky for sushi (although we've not cooled it and mixed it with rice vinegar, which might change the consistency).

As a Chinese person living in Britain who eats rice on a near-daily basis, I’ve been buying this short-grain white rice for years and it never disappoints and lasts me months. Recently I bought the IKEA 2.3 litre dry food jar with lid, and I was shocked that it only holds less than half the rice in the bag. For how much rice you get, it’s well worth the price.

Every bit as good as nishiki rice, looks identical grain size and a fraction of the price

Bought 3 times now great

The worse quality of rice I have ever eat as an Asian. First, on the listing photo, it says origin from Italy. But for the bag of rice I received, it only says is from EU, but didn’t specify which country. I sent email to ask and they reply is depend the season, usually is a mix from multiples country such as Spain. Secondly, many rice is black, and I also see other people comment the same. I asked AI about it, it says the rice is not rotten, but usually means the rice quality is low and didn’t treat it properly will cause the rice to turn black. And last, when you squeeze the rice, it become powdery. So weird , I have never seen rice has this kind of texture. I will not risk my life to eat it.
