Review: Yes, it is better. - I have no problem eating rice grown in the US, but this is better. The appearance is different, this is more translucent looking than I'm used to. The texture is different, it's plenty sticky but less gummy. I find the flavor is much better too. I'm not a rice snob, and I find most japonica rice great. This stuff is better than even the high end japonica. To me it's worth the price difference.
Review: Best Rice Ever!!! - This is the best rice I've ever eaten. It's nice and sticky, slightly sweet, and a perfect chew. While you can wash i prefer not to. My Zojirushi cooks it just fine. I haven't seen any bugs or other contaminates. Smells great. Definitely worth the money.

### ⭐ Spoiled, dirty, smells terrible. Bad batch.
*by F***R on January 29, 2026*

I have bought this fantastic rice for years. The last batch I received of two packages was spoiled with something. Tasted terrible, and stank. Amazon does not even allow me a return because it’s a perishable item.
