Review: This is high quality delicious rice that can be worthwhile splurge - Since entering semi-retirement, I have been spending more time cooking and buying lots of kitchen gadgets and exotic ingredients. So I started making onigiri, musubi, and oshizushi for co-workers while I've been advancing my culinary skills. As a result, I went down a bit of a culinary rabbit hole trying different Japanese grown short grain rices. I grew up eating Kohuko yellow or rose medium grain California rice and transitioned onto Nishiki medium grain rice when I moved out on my own because it was more readily available in communities without Asian grocery stores but had plenty of Wal-Mart Supercenters. Just so you know, if you're dipping your toe in the sushi, onigiri, or musubi making world, Nishiki is an excellent starting point. It is good quality, easy to work with, and costs about $1.20/pound on desertcart. It accepts liquid sushi seasoning when it's hot like a champ and returns to being pleasantly firm when cooled to room temperature for sushi making. As someone who spent an entire childhood eating rice EVERYDAY, I can tell right away that Ubara is definitely a step up from Nishiki, Kohuko Rose, or Botan. However, if you're planning to buy Ubara just for sushi, fried rice, or other cooking applications, save yourself some money and just stick to the California medium grain Calrose variants. You're wasting Ubara if you're just going to add a bunch of flavorants to cover up the natural flavor and sweetness of the rice. Ubara is a rice that you want to eat just as great quality rice. It is a rice that stands alone and shines. This is a rice that is best eaten comfortably warm as an accompaniment to other savory dishes-you'll miss the subtleties of the texture and flavor of the individual grains if you eat it boiling lava hot right out of the rice cooker. In fact this rice is delicious at room temperature For rice lovers, this is an excellent candidate for just munching on as you're just puttering around the kitchen. The sweetness shines through when the rice is room temperature.

While this product is a bit pricey per pound, it is the highest-grade sushi rice and it definitely elevated my event with it's delicious aroma, taste and perfect stickiness.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Unenriched REAL Japanese sushi rice.
*by H***R on April 12, 2025*

This is just the very best of the best of sushi rice (from Japan) and I've tried them all. It's just delicious and is very well packed for travel (it travels a long way!). I can't eat American grown rice because it's required by our government (or FDA whatever I don't know) to be "enriched". Rice from Asia (Japan/India etc) does not have that requirement. It's wonderful rice. Now you don't have to travel to Japan to eat the rice that they do. :)
