Nishiki Premium Rice, Medium Grain,15 Pound (Pack of 1)

So here is the story. I am running out of rice have about 3 pounds of rice left last time I went to chinatown to pick uo 20 pounds of thai homali rice really good rice. Best rice they have in big stores. Recommended by my mom. I only took about 10 pounds of rice in my luggage. I double bagged the rice in plastic bags to prevent spillage of rice in my luggage bag. I go to chinatown about once every other month to visit parents and do some grocery shopping. I have all my groceries in a briefcase and a bookbag. Usually come back to kingston poughkeepsie with 70+ pounds of food. So I only took 10 pounds of rice. The rest of bag had chinese sauceage pork belly chicken curry veggies noodles tofu miso paste kimchi and free range chicken breast frozen. That was distributed between 3 bags. So this time around I didn't have time to go to chinatown last time I went was in may. So I was like amazon prime should have rice it has everything else. I was like wow there are some good Asian brand of rice really good prices too. I sent pictures of the rice brand to my mom so she can tell me which one to buy. She told me nishiki is really great brand for stream rice and is good for porridge as well. The yellow bag cali rice brand was mostly good for porridge. So I was looking at the reviews and such there were issues with bugs being found in the rice bags, spiders and worm infestation in rice bag. I was worried and scared about buying the rice due to that reason. So I was thinking there might had been a small hole or tear in those bags. Storage issues at warehouse. My mom told me if you store rice in a wet place bugs will come out of rice bag. So there might be issues. When I got my rice there was not wetness or moisture on rice. They seems to solve the issue at warehouse. I looked at bag before opening to see if there are any insects in them before opening. I poured the rice in a rice container I brought and then mixed the thai homali long grain rice with these medium grain ones. They are really good rice brand and is awesome for making stream rice or traditional Chinese breakfast porridge rice. I asked my mom she is the one that cooks in my place. I moved out and learning how to cook for myself. Any cooking issues or questions I always ask my mom. She told me this rice is really a premium grade awesomr tasting rice. Take that advice from an retired Asian housewife and my mother. This rice bag is worth the price and everything. Also noted if you do get a rice with bugs and nasty stuff in it please don't judge the brand as a whole. You are just freaking unlucky to get the 1/10000 bag that will have issues. Please try this brand of rice and you will love it. Also Asian rice cooking advice. If you have more than one cup of rice (rice cooker cup that is provided with every rice cooker) here is how to get perfect rice everytime. You wash the rice in the rice cooker rinse repeat 4 times. Washing mean you have rice in water then stick hand into rice and move the rice around flip the rice then pour out the water make sure to have hand on rice cooker bowel so rice don't run away. Then repeat this 3 more times. After that if you have 2 cup or more you stick your hand in Palm down on the rice. Press down lightly on rice. Also make sure that the rice is even/leveled for this so the water is even. Once the water reach your knuckles that is the right amount of rice for the 2+ cups. 1 serving or 1 cup of rice you just eye ball it typically for that it is 2 cups of water. Generally more water is better. Advice from my mom generally overcooked rice is edible . Undercooked rice is completely unedible and is waste of rice. Also how the heck do I post pictures of my rice for the review? Order first bag of rice on July 6th got it on july 8th i liked it so much i ordered 2nd bag of rice on July 8th. got the second bag on July 10th no bugs and issues with 2nd bag

This Nishiki rice is pretty good overall. It cooks up fluffy and has a nice texture that's great for everyday meals. The flavor is mild, and it pairs well with a variety of dishes. It might not be the absolute best rice I've ever had, but for the price and convenience, it's definitely a solid choice. Would recommend!

I was a little worried to buy this product when other said that the rice was dirty. I have not had that experience. I do wash my rice before using it. But this rice is like any other rice I bought.. I do like the consistency and flavor once it’s cooked. I highly recommend and will continue to buy this product both for the quality and the cost.

The media could not be loaded. We’ve been using Nishiki rice for a while now, and it’s truly become a staple in our home. The texture is always perfect soft, slightly sticky, and full of flavor. It cooks beautifully every time, whether we’re making simple white rice or using it for sushi and stir-fry. My whole family loves it, and we always get compliments when we serve it to guests. If you’re looking for high quality rice that never disappoints, this is the one to get!

The media could not be loaded. My now preferred medium sized grain, tastes as good as Sekka, cooks well, texture is smooth and since this is a medium sized grain, I also love making sushi with this, its not as fragrant as Jasmine for aroma, but you can add few cut pieces of Pandan leaves as soon as the rice is almost done; and for those daily rice eatery like me, its price and convenience, with Amazon’s recurring delivery options this is an excellent buy. FYI although so far my bags delivered were great, Pls check your bag’s Best By date before opening, and if they’re past the recommended date, take a photo, note your date of purchase and CURTEOUSLY contact Amazon customer service

Pretty good rice. Smooth, good cooking consistency, tastes good but not incredible. We've cooked 7lb out of a 14lb bag, rice needs more water than other types and slightly longer cool-down period to absorb and stabilize the water.Not great for day-old leftover rice stir frying, breaks apart too easily. But good in pudding.

One of our favourite rices. Good taste and smell. Bad is sturdy and the rice has a good stickiness for sushi.

I really like this rice. Not only for sushi, but just about anything. Versitle, quality, and affordable.
