Kokuho Rose Rice, 10-Pound

This is my workhorse rice. We should probably all eat more brown rice, but this is too delicious to give up. Fwiw, I prefer moister rice, and don’t love drier fluffy rice as many other people do, so this is my preferred texture. I use this as all purpose, versatile rice-as plain side dish, bedding for Asian dishes, for stroganoff & similar dishes, use for making rice pilaf & Mexican rice, & great rice porridge/jook, & when making soup for gf friends. It’s great payoff in taste just using rice cooker makes it low effort. I love the texture but my main interest is the mildly sweet taste. Good for sushi, but I rarely make it. The difference between this & other white rices is that if I have some leftover, I like it as a snack with either butter or a little teriyaki sauce, whereas I don’t like other leftover white rices as a rule. I do occasionally buy Lundberg California rice for times when I want their wild rice blend, or black of red rice-also excellent but quite pricey. I was surprised to hear some complaints about bugs-I’ve bought this for years & never had a single problem with cleanliness. The price is fair. I could probably buy it for less at local Asian groceries, but after disability, can’t beat the convenience of having ten pound bag delivered. No problem wirh delivery time or condition of product. I repeat-this rice is delicious.

Great quality rice with a nice texture and aroma. The grains cook evenly and stay fluffy without being too sticky. Tastes delicious and pairs well with many dishes. Would definitely buy again.

What can I say about the best Japanese rice ever grown in California...don't buy it? As a rice grower, buy mine? Yes, it's dear in every meaning of the word: wonderful, highly valued by me for cooking, comparatively very expensive Yeah, I would like to say all the above, as I want there to be plenty of Kohoku for mememe. It's simply the best, period, bar none, round up the herd and take it to market, it is worth every penny. We buy 120 pounds a year, minimum, so don't you DARE take mine, however. You'll love every bite. NOTE: this is NOT sushi rice, tho they grow and we buy it also.. I never knew til now we ate so much rice, as we also use jasmine, basmati and sticky in much smaller quantities. Pls also try black and red rice, they are special. Brown rice goes down harder to digest.

Love this rice, local store quit carrying it so found on Amazon and was able to get a larger bag than the store ever carried. Delivery was prompt and product was well wrapped!

Really tasty rice with springy texture and color. Easy to cook.

We first bought this because we wanted to try making our own rolls at home and understood that the correct rice is essential to that process. Honestly our results weren't impressive, but this rice was not what kept our them from being instagram worthy. When prepared for the sushi making, this rice indeed was fluffy and sticky making it easy to form various rolls and rice balls. We have only used it for that purpose a couple of times, but we've bought several times because it is also great as an everyday dinner side. I like how fluffy and soft it is when its cooked and it tends not to stick to the bottom of our rice maker. We soak the rice for 20 minutes before cooking then drain and rinse. It also absorbs flavor readily; great to soak up sauce on the plate. Also works really well in salads because it stays tender when cold. Whether you specifically want to make sushi or just want some good tasting rice, this product has been a satisfying choice for us for both uses.

I love this rice !!

This is great rice... hands down. It is my first package. My son suggested I use it ... he is a chef for his family and makes sure his mom gets the best.
