## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this grown in Japan or California?**
A: In Japanese, it says it is grown in Sacramento, California. Koshihikari is a varietal that is synonymous with Niigata prefecture, but it’s grown in a lot of different places. In my personal view there are different grades of US-grown koshihikari and this is a mid-level brand. 

A Japanese one is gonna be 2-3x the price of a CA koshihikari. That premium is too steep, in my view.

**Q: How many cups of rice can I get out of this bag (4.4 LB/2 kg)?**
A: approximately 8 to 10 cups of uncooked rice, or 24 to 30 cups of cooked rice. Depending on how soft or firm you cook your rice, and if you use a rice cooker or not.

**Q: What variety of rice?  I'm looking for Japonica.**
A: It is japonica short grain which is one of two major rices grown and used in Asia. The 2nd is indica which is a medium grain and is usually had a dingy color to it.

**Q: So is this the new crop or old crop?**
A: I would suppose that depends on when you actually make your purchase. I've bought the rice from the same vendor and each time the harvest/manufacturer date was within 6 months of my purchase.  At any rate, I stand by my review that this is the best, affordable sushi grade rice that is readily available

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by S***. on 11 January 2018*

I love this luxurious rice. I make it in my Instant Pot (using a modified Alton Brown's Sushi Rice recipe) and it comes out amazing every time. It aint cheap but it is delicious and reminds me of the rice The Hubs and I enjoyed in Japan two years ago. Ingredients 2 cups sushi or short grain rice 2 cups water, plus extra for rinsing rice 2 tablespoons rice vinegar 2 tablespoons sugar 1 tablespoon kosher salt Directions Rinse the rice with water, pour off and repeat 2 to 3 times or until the water runs clear. Spray the inner pot with cooking spray, then dump the wet rice and 2 cups of water into the pot, seal the lid, and select the rice button. Once done, remove the pot from the heat and let stand, covered, for 10 minutes. Combine the rice vinegar, sugar and salt in a small bowl and heat in the microwave on high for 30 to 45 seconds. Transfer the rice into a large wooden or glass mixing bowl and add the vinegar mixture. Fold thoroughly to combine and coat each grain of rice with the mixture. Allow to cool to room temperature before using to make sushi or sashimi.
