This is GOOD RICE. - I think this is the best value Japanese rice on desertcart. There are Italian alternatives that are good too, but I really wanted a Japanese one and this was cheaper. - You can make this in a non-stick pot very easily. Step 1: Use a small glass for one serving and pour rice into a non-stick saucepan. Step 2: Pour cold water over the rice and stir well with a large wooden spoon, then pour off the starchy, cloudy water (do this at least twice to wash the rice) Step 3: Use the same small glass to measure the amount of water to add to the rice (ratio 1:1 rice to water). Put the lid on. NOTE: KEEP the lid on UNTIL THE END, DO NOT REMOVE! Step 4: Let the rice sit in the cold water for 10 mins Step 5: Put the pot on a high heat until it boils, then turn the heat down so it doesn't overflow (for 12-15 mins) Step 6: Remove from heat and let it sit for 10 mins Step 7: Finally remove the lid and ENJOY some awesome Japanese sticky, fluffy, delicious rice. 10/10 Review: Excellent and essentially indistinguishable from good Japanese-grown rice - Excellent quality. I lived in Japan for nearly two decades and ate rice in one form or another almost every day, and always used high-end koshihikari or similar at home. Both I, and the Japanese national who also uses it, have found this Yumenishiki to be very good. It has the same look, smell, texture and taste as high-quality rice grown in Japan. I would go as far as to say that in blind tasting I doubt that most Japanese could tell the difference. Anyway, this is now our default rice. And, with reference to the other review from 2011, it has had no negative effects on my health whatsoever. (I am skeptical that minor variations in rice strains could have the dramatic effect on digestion claimed by the other reviewer.) ## Features - Super premium short grain rice - a new type of koshihikari rice - Suitable for sushi and all other japanese dishes - All natural ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B003WAPYVA | | Age Range Description | All ages | | Best Sellers Rank | 6,877 in Grocery ( See Top 100 in Grocery ) 15 in White Rice | | Brand | Yume Nishiki | | Brand Name | Yume Nishiki | | Coin Variety 1 | Rice | | Container Type | Bag | | Country of Origin | Japan | | Cuisine | Japanese Cooking | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 587 Reviews | | Diet Type | Plant Based, Vegetarian | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04006599000670 | | Item Form | grain | | Item Length Description | Medium | | Item Package Quantity | 1 | | Item Package Weight | 5.28 Kilograms | | Item Weight | 5000 Grams | | Item package quantity | 1 | | Item weight | 5000 Grams | | Manufacturer | Yumenishiki | | Manufacturer Contact Information | JFC LTD.Unit 17 7 Premier Park Road London NW10 7NZ | | Model Number | A3006 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of items | 1 | | Part Number | A3006 | | Serving Range | 33 servings | | Size | 5 kg (Pack of 1) | | Specialty | Natural | | Unit Count | 5000.0 gram | | Unit count | 5000.0 gram | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Yume Nishiki - **Item package quantity:** 1 - **Item weight:** 5000 Grams - **Number of items:** 1 - **Unit count:** 5000.0 gram ## Images ![YUMENISHIKI Short Grain Rice 5 kg - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/619azxIsQoL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: what is the country of origin?** A: Italy. But it is a variety of rice just like Japanese sticky rice. My daughter in law is Japanese and is very happy with it. **Q: Do you have to soak this rice? After soaking would it be 1:1?** A: First you should wash the rice in cold water untill it runs clear. You do not need to soak it. Add the amount of water to cook the rice, I do 85g per portion to 170ml of cold water. Depending on how you cook it depends on the length of time it will take. I use a rice cooker which works the time out for me. **Q: Is this rice non-GMO certified?** A: do no know **Q: Hello does it really take 1 to 2 months for delivery?** A: Never in my experience, always been days ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I lived in Japan for 4 years.
