Review: True to claim. Whitest rice we’ve ever seen (and we’re Asian) - So I bought this rice out of curiosity and for entertainment the last time my extended family came to stay with us for a week. No doubt, it is good. This rice is noticeably different in color, texture, and taste (immediately out of the rice cooker anyway). It’s definitely better tasting than most when wrapped with Japanese seaweed. Once it sits in the rice cooker for an hour though, it started to taste about the same as our daily rice. Is this worth $100 a bag? Depend on if you enjoy blowing through your trust fund for staple grains — or if you’re like me and framed the onetime expense as an investment in culinary education. I’d probably never buy it again at this price point unless I’m having a themed dinner party or something (compare/contrast different types of rice?). But overall, my frugal family was unimpressed and thought the price point just ridiculous.
Review: You Get what you pay for in quality and taste - I wanted the best possible genuine growth in Japan Rice and this deliver, is 4 times more expensive because it requires 4 times more production costs and labor to archive this level of quality, I get what I paid for in aroma, texture and about all flavor like no other, every factor is taken in consideration, temperature, humidity, soil , location, fertilizer ECT, you could always try something else more affordable, but won't ever find a replacement, to get the best results you got to get a Japanese rice cooker , not a Korean one or Chinese and especially not a 20 bucks rice cooker from your local department store , you need at least an induction heating one, not just cook better, it can keep your rice tasting like just made for over two days, I recommend Zojirushi NP-NWC10XB 5.5-Cup Pressure Induction Heating Rice Cooker, fill the measuring cup that comes with it with rice perfectly flush by passing a knife on top, you can rinse with tap water but to cook it I add spring water, Bon Appetite

## Questions & Answers

**Q: what is the date shows in the back of bag means?**
A: the date printed in the back of rice mean the date they polished the rice.  Its not expiration date

**Q: The bag states" keep under refrigeration". Really? I need to refrigerate this rice?**
A: Our temperature in Seattle is cool so don’t see the need for that. I’ve never refrigerated any Japanese rice before & we live in Tokyo part time & I grew up in Japan. I’ve bought this rice 3 times already & I keep it in a large plastic container in the kitchen.

**Q: Do you sell unpolished rice of this quality so I may polish freshly for more flavor?**
A: We are in the market of selling the best unpolished rice of this quality that we can find

**Q: How do you make this?  I can't read the directions since they're in Japanese.**
A: I make this the same way as any good quality sushi rice - 450 grams rice (rinse well & let it stand for 10 minutes afterwards) + 420 grams water in Zojirushi pressure rice cooker (NP-NWC10/18). This a super high quality sushi rice - don't cook it to the point of it being mush. During Covid lockdown I had a great omakase Chef come to the house to cook us dinner & he was so impressed w/ the quality of this rice.
