high quality rice
It's a little more expensive than other rice, but I choose this without hesitation. The taste is noticeably better when it's cooled down. This time, I received rice milled in December of 2025 (Reiwa 7).
Black rice is delicious!!
It's a little pricey, but it's great to be able to purchase delicious Japanese rice. I buy it without hesitation when it's in stock.
I always order this, but it's the best rice
I've been waiting for the new rice to arrive. It's delicious Japanese rice. However, the price has gone up by $15 since the middle of last year.
nice product
The rice arrived on October 17th and was milled on August 24th. I was expecting it to be a little older, so I'm happy that it was milled within two months. The rice isn't as sweet as I expected, but when I cooked it with about 10% more water, it had the chewy texture that's characteristic of Koshihikari.
I'm glad I was able to buy delicious Japanese rice at a better price than at Nikkei Supermarket!
The bag of Koshihikari rice was fragile and the rice spilled out when it arrived. I wish it was packaged a little more carefully.
