Designed for sushi enthusiasts and culinary pros alike, it offers consistent, easy cooking with minimal foaming, making it the go-to choice for authentic Japanese dishes and everyday meals. ## Description Koshihikari type rice Review: really is super premium - I just made a batch for sushi. Previously I've used Nishiki, Kokuho Rose, Rice Select and a few others and they all were very similar in preparation and taste. They are all good, but I like Nozomi much better. The taste is not drastically different but I do like it better. Cooking it is much easier. I thoroughly rinse all my rice when making it for sushi. Nozomi doesn't foam up in the rice cooker, you don't even actually see the water boil or see the amounts of steam come out of the cooker. I was a little worried. When it was done the rice looked good, it had a nice consistency when transferred it from the rice cooker to another bowl to mix the rice vinegar/salt/sugar mixture. When it was time to make the sushi Nozomi is much nicer and easier to work with spreading it on the nori sheets. You have much more control over how little or much rice you want to use. it spreads very easily. It is properly sticky for sushi not too little or too much. I didn't expect any difference there. I make a lot of sushi so I will be ordering again before this bag runs out. I also plan to try Tamanishiki and Yume also grown by the same company. Review: best japanese rice ever - I've been making/eating Japanese rice for over twenty years. Having lived in NYC most of my life there were many places to source fine Japanese goods so I've been a little spoiled by access to the best ingredients; having moved out west a couple of years ago sometimes ingredients are harder to find. There were no reviews on this rice on the day I purchased it and I'm so glad I took a chance; this is hands down the best Japanese rice I have had in a very, very long time. Unusually fine short grain. I made a batch the first night it arrived intending to pair it with some leftover chicken curry. When the rice was done, I went to take a taste and sweet Jesus!, was that good. Firm bite yet tender yield. A bare hint of sweetness. In a word - delicate. Another taste, then a bowl. Needed not a drop of shoyu or anything - naked perfection. I wound up forgetting all about the curry. ## Features - Premium sushi rice - Short grain rice - GMO free ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B004NRHBC6 | | ASIN | B004NRHBC6 | | Best Sellers Rank | #65,816 in Grocery & Gourmet Food ( See Top 100 in Grocery & Gourmet Food ) #115 in Dried White Rice | | Brand Name | Nozomi | | Coin Variety 1 | Rice | | Container Type | Bag | | Cuisine | Japanese | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (749) | | Diet Type | Kosher | | Item Form | Grain | | Item Length Description | Short | | Item Package Quantity | 1 | | Item Package Weight | 6.92 Kilograms | | Item Weight | 15 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Nozomi | | Manufacturer | Nozomi | | Number of Items | 1 | | Package Dimensions | 18 x 12 x 3 inches; 15 Pounds | | Protein | 2 Grams | | Size | 15 Pound (Pack of 1) | | Specialty | GMO Free | | UPC | 011152635286 | | UPC | 011152635286 | | Unit Count | 240.0 Ounce | | Units | 240.0 Ounce | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Nozomi - **Item Package Quantity:** 1 - **Item Weight:** 15 Pounds - **Number of Items:** 1 - **Unit Count:** 240.0 Ounce ## Images ![Nozomi Super Premium Short Grain Rice, 15-Pound - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81Ec-I90o-L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Can someone compare this to Tamanishiki? I really enjoyed that brand.** A: both are very good. Have had both and think they are both good. **Q: The rice says it's "highly polished" so is this musenmai (no-wash) rice?** A: I do wash them lightly before cook. It’s just my preference though. **Q: Is this real Japanese style rice, very glutinous and can be used to make sushi?** A: My mom is from Japan and this is her favorite rice. It can be used as sushi. She says it's better then what she gets at asian market and cheaper **Q: Is this GMO rice?** A: It doesn't say on the package but you can find out from the supplier here info@jfc.com ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ really is super premium *by A***R on January 31, 2014* I just made a batch for sushi.

Rice is one of my staples and I am uppity about it. I'm not even Asian (I don't say this to be racial, but they know rice and can be very passionate about it), but there's a reason people who don't like rice have their opinion: they just don't know. This rice, while not Tamanishiki (my favorite), is pretty close. I prefer short grain as it stays soft even when cold. I haven't received a bad bag, yet. What I have received, are beautifully polished grains that cook up well and have even changed the minds of the rice haters that I live around and with. ## Frequently Bought Together - Nozomi Super Premium Short Grain Rice, 15-Pound - Gimme Seaweed Sushi Nori Premium Organic Roasted Seaweed Sheets, Keto, Vegan, Gluten-Free, Restaurant-style Sushi Nori Sheets 0.81 Ounce (Pack of 1) - Nishiki Premium Rice, Medium Grain,15 Pound (Pack of 1) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.lk/products/4082586-nozomi-super-premium-short-grain-rice-15-pound](https://www.desertcart.lk/products/4082586-nozomi-super-premium-short-grain-rice-15-pound) --- *Product available on Desertcart Sri Lanka* *Store origin: LK* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
