Breed Sci 64:183–192 When the rice is cooked, the rice cooker should switch to 'warm' mode to keep the cooked rice warm. It is recommended not to keep it warm for more than 5-6 hours to maintain the quality of the cooked rice. From the original Koshihikari species, several new brands of rice were developed. They are Akitakomachi (あきたこまち), Hitomebore (ひとめぼれ) Hinohikari (ヒノヒカリ) and Milkyqueen (ミルキークイーン). Each of them has unique characteristics that are different from Koshihikari. You can buy some of these brands at Japanese grocery stores.

When there are around 5 minutes left on the “20-minutes natural release”, cool the sushi vinegar by placing the saucepan in a sink filled with cold tap water. Repeat rinsing 3 more times: It's not necessary to rinse until the water is clear. This cloudy color in your rice indicates that it has starch, which determines its sweetness, so don't rinse too much.

About Rice in Japanese Cooking

Typical Japanese uses are for sushi to chirashi: if you are an oblivious blogger like an Ally, then “like poke is oriental right?! So like you people can eat it that way too.” For the record Ally, poke is Hawaiian, and it is typically eaten with plain rice.

Rice Sci 13:161–169 Koshihikari was first created in 1956 by combining 2 different strains of Nourin No.1 and Nourin No.22 at the Fukui Prefectural Agricultural Research Facility. It is one of the most highly grown varieties of rice in Japan [1] and is exported to other countries as a premium product. [2]

All this rice is grown in the U.S. of A, because Japanese and Asian Americans have a long-standing history in farming ( like my gramps). Not to mention Kikkoman (soy sauce) to Kirin (lager beer) are also produced in Walworth, Wisconsin to Williamsburg, Virginia. Mochimugi: It's chewy barley. The dietary fiber is 20 times more than white rice. It's getting popular as diet food.Leave the rinsed rice in the bowl and add enough water (not in the ingredients) to cover the rice. Leave the rice to soak for 30 minutes (summertime) to 1 hour (wintertime).

Yes, what a lot of westerners probably don’t realize is that what we think of as “sushi rice” is really just “rice” in Japan, where rice is often part of a daily meal, unlike most Western countries. Thanks! ReplyIf there is one type of rice that best represents sushi and Japanese culinary arts, it is Koshihikari rice (often called “Koshi rice”). Koshihikari rice is considered a super-premium short grain rice that has been artificially selected over many years to produce its unique characteristics, with a firmness, consistency, aroma, and a natural sweetness that is without peer. Slightly off white, firm yet creamy, this low glycemic rice has attributes that make it perfect for sushi or general consumption, if one is so inclined. Along the same vein as Kobe or Wagyu beef, this rice is a type carefully cultivated and milled in Japan, and was traditionally only grown and consumed there, and for a long time, Westerners were not privy to this Japanese luxury. Eventually, word of this incredible rice spread, and while Japan was happy to export milled Koshi rice to the rest of the world, grain that would germinate was kept from export, effectively prohibiting other countries from growing their own Koshihikari rice. In 2003, Japan began to certify Japanese Koshihikari rice with DNA testing, thus ensuring a compliant product marketed with JAS certification. The intent was to keep this rice a Japanese product; however we all know how well that strategy works with any commodity. The capacity of 180ml comes from the old Japanese unit of measuring volume called ‘ gou‘ (合). Until the Meiji Restoration, which ended the Edo period, Japanese people were using their own units to measure volume. I have included methods not only for cooking rice in a saucepan but also using a rice cooker in this post. Ohtsubo, Ken'ichi; Okunishi, Tomoya; Suzuki, Koitaro (2005).
