Great sushi begins with great rice, and this premium short grain sushi rice is chosen for exactly that purpose. Short grain rice is the essential foundation of sushi because of the way it behaves when cooked: the plump, rounded grains turn tender and slightly sticky, clinging gently together so they can be shaped and pressed, yet still holding their individual bite.

Its quality shows in the details. It offers a balance of subtle natural sweetness and savoury umami, a glossy, pearly-white appearance that looks as good as it tastes, and, crucially, the ability to retain moisture without ever becoming soggy or mushy. That structure is what allows a chef to mould nigiri and roll maki that hold their shape while remaining light and pleasant to eat. Once cooked and seasoned with sushi vinegar it becomes sushi-meshi, the foundation of every sushi dish, but it is equally at home in onigiri rice balls, rice bowls and donburi, poke bowls, and as a premium table rice.

Supplied in a practical 20kg sack, it is a dependable, high volume staple for any sushi counter or Japanese kitchen.
