Koshihikari is a varietal that is synonymous with Niigata prefecture, but itโ€™s grown in a lot of different places. In my personal view there are different grades of US-grown koshihikari and this is a mid-level brand. A Japanese one is gonna be 2-3x the price of a CA koshihikari. That premium is too steep, in my view. **Q: How many cups of rice can I get out of this bag (4.4 LB/2 kg)?** A: approximately 8 to 10 cups of uncooked rice, or 24 to 30 cups of cooked rice. Depending on how soft or firm you cook your rice, and if you use a rice cooker or not. **Q: What variety of rice? I'm looking for Japonica.** A: It is japonica short grain which is one of two major rices grown and used in Asia. The 2nd is indica which is a medium grain and is usually had a dingy color to it. **Q: So is this the new crop or old crop?** A: I would suppose that depends on when you actually make your purchase. I've bought the rice from the same vendor and each time the harvest/manufacturer date was within 6 months of my purchase. At any rate, I stand by my review that this is the best, affordable sushi grade rice that is readily available ## Frequently Bought Together - Shirakiku Dried Grains & Rice - Japanese Short Grain White Koshihikari Rice - Uncooked Premium Quality Sweet Sticky Sushi Rice, 4.4 Pounds bag - CHOI's 1(Daechun) Roasted Seaweed, Gim, Sushi Nori - (50 full sheets)- Gold Grade- Vegan, Keto, Gluten Free, Full of Fiber, Vitamin, Mineral, High protein, Omega 3's- Product of Korea - Onigiri Mold, 3 Pack Rice Mold Musubi Maker Kit, Musubi Press Mold, Classic Triangle Rice Ball Mold Maker Sushi Mold for Kid Lunch Bento, Home DIY --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - ๐Ÿ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** โ€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - ๐ŸŒ **Shop Globally** โ€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - ๐Ÿ’ฐ **No Hidden Fees** โ€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - ๐Ÿ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** โ€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - ๐Ÿ”’ **Secure Payments** โ€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - โญ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** โ€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/23383720-shirakiku-dried-grains-and-rice-japanese-style-short-grain-white](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/23383720-shirakiku-dried-grains-and-rice-japanese-style-short-grain-white) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-09-08*
