I always buy this. I've discovered that letting it soak in water for a longer time makes it chewier and even more delicious!

I always buy it when the price drops.

It's affordable yet delicious. After cooking, it has that sweet aroma of Japanese rice. It would be nice to know when it was milled, rather than just the expiration date, but is that asking too much?

Honestly, this rice is softer and stickier than Taiwanese rice (I cooked it with hard water), but I still don't like the distinct texture of Thai long-grain rice. I usually buy this as an add-on when there's a discount.

perfect. I love making sushi bake with it.

I'm happy that it's domestically produced (Japanese) rice. Even in Japan, branded rice is expensive, so it's great to be able to buy it at an affordable price. The cooked rice always looks like the picture. It might not be suitable for people who prefer transparent, shiny rice, but my family enjoys it.

It has a delicate texture, is fragrant, and is very delicious. We all love it.
Zou
What I truly appreciate about this rice is the packaging. It's a large bag of rice, but upon opening, you'll find three individually packaged portions inside. This design helps maintain freshness by dividing the rice into three smaller bags. The flavor of the rice is exceptional, with significantly better nutritional value than plain white rice.
