Koshi Yutaka is cultivated in the rich paddy fields using groundwanter from the Mekong River.

The rice cooks easily in rice cookers and holds together well without becoming mushy, with one customer noting it's soft enough for reheating. While some customers find it perfect for sticky rice, others describe it as horribly sticky.

    Great for Everyday Asian Cooking

    I’ve also used it in other Asian dishes, and it’s versatile enough for any meal. Whether I’m making a stir-fry, a rice bowl, or just as a side, it cooks up quickly and consistently. It has a lovely soft texture that complements various dishes, making it a must-have in our kitchen.

    Value for Money

    Given the quality, I feel like the 5kg bag is excellent value for money, especially since I use rice so often. It lasts a while, and I appreciate how it maintains its quality over time.

    I recently purchased the Yutaka Koshi Rice, and it has quickly become a favourite in my household. This 5kg bag of premium grade Japanese short grain rice is ideal for a variety of dishes, from sushi to everyday Asian cooking.

    The quality of this rice is outstanding. Each grain is perfectly shaped and polishes up beautifully when cooked. It has a slightly sticky texture, which is essential for making sushi, and it holds together well without becoming mushy. The rice has a subtle sweetness and a pleasing aroma, enhancing the flavour of any dish.

    Cooking this rice is straightforward, and it produces consistently excellent results. I use a rice cooker, and the rice turns out perfectly every time—soft, slightly sticky, and delicious. For sushi, it’s simply the best I’ve tried. The grains clump together just right, making it easy to form rolls and other shapes.

    The packaging is sturdy and keeps the rice fresh. The 5kg size is convenient for frequent use, especially for families or those who cook Asian cuisine regularly. It’s also good value for money considering the quality and quantity.

    The only minor downside is that, being a premium product, it might be a bit pricier than other types of rice. However, the superior quality justifies the cost, especially for those who appreciate authentic Japanese cuisine.

    Overall, Yutaka Koshi Rice is a top-notch choice for anyone looking to make high-quality sushi or other Asian dishes at home. Its excellent texture, taste, and consistency make it a must-have in the kitchen. Highly recommended for sushi enthusiasts and everyday cooking alike.
