What is sushi rice?
Sushi rice is a special short-grain round-grain rice that develops a slightly sticky texture when cooked. This makes it perfect for sushi rolls, nigiri, Onigiri or rice bowls. Our rice comes from the Japanese region Yamagata, which is renowned for its high-quality rice varieties – thanks to clear water, fertile soil and a long tradition of rice cultivation.
Why is it worth buying?
The 5 kg bag is ideal for anyone who cooks Japanese food regularly: whether for Sushi evenings, meal prep with rice balls, or as a side dish with Ramen, curry or Donburi. The rice is natural, has been polished several times and impresses with its uniform grain size, balanced stickiness and delicate natural flavour. Produced and packaged in Japan – for the highest quality and authenticity.

How do I prepare sushi rice properly?
Wash the rice thoroughly before cooking until the water runs clear. Then cook it in a rice cooker or saucepan using the correct amount of water (usually 1:1.1 to 1:1.2). For sushi rice, it is then seasoned with sushi vinegar and left to cool slightly. You can also find detailed instructions on our blog at: Cooking sushi rice
How do I store the rice and how long does it keep?
The rice should be stored in a dry, dark and cool place – ideally in an airtight container. This preserves the flavour and ensures the rice keeps for many months.
Please note that the rice comes directly from Japan and has a shelf life of 12 months from the date of packaging, as specified by the manufacturer. As transport by ship to Europe usually takes at least 6 months, the printed best-before date is correspondingly shorter upon arrival. Please note, therefore, that the remaining shelf life of the product at the time of sale is often only a few months or weeks. The quality and taste remain unchanged, however, as long as the rice is stored in a cool, dry place away from direct light.
