Buy Japanese Sushi Rice | Premium Authentic Sushi Rice Rice is the cornerstone of Japanese cuisine - the Japanese word for 'cooked rice', gohan, is the same word for 'meal'. Japanese rice is essential for making sushi, donburi or other authentic recipes, and we make sure to stock the best.

This rice has a unique, slightly sweeter flavour than other Japanese rice varieties. We also stock Akitakomachi rice , prized for its lustre and distinctive subtle taste. To properly cook this deliciously sticky rice, you should thoroughly wash it, and the cold rice must be soaked before cooking.
