Price per gram is not bad either considering how long this lasts us. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Have bought multiple times. *by S***T on 21 December 2025* Happy with this brown rice. I have purchased it many times. I normally soak it for a while, and then mix white rice, wash, and cook it in the rice cooker. I probably mix 6:4 (white rice: brown rice) and can still make onigiri. ## Frequently Bought Together - Yutaka Semi-Polished Brown Rice 5kg - Yutaka Koshi Rice 5kg | Premium Grade Japanese Short Grain Rice | Authentic Japanese Rice Round Grain | Perfect for sushi rice, sticky rice and everyday Asian cooking - Yutaka Sasanishiki Super Premium Short Grain Rice 10 kg --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/66751410-semi-polished-brown-rice-5kg-nutty-wholegrain-originario-rice-sushi](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/66751410-semi-polished-brown-rice-5kg-nutty-wholegrain-originario-rice-sushi) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-06*
