Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. Why is the Koshihikari variety so important for sushi?
The Koshihikari variety has a perfect balance of starches (amylose and amylopectin), giving it a sticky but not pasty texture, a special shine and a slightly sweet flavor, ideal characteristics for sushi.

2. Should I wash the rice before cooking it?
Yes, it's a crucial step. You should rinse the rice with cold water several times, until the water runs almost clear. This removes excess surface starch and ensures the correct texture.

3. What is the correct proportion of water to cook it?
The recommended ratio is 1 part rice to 1.5 parts water. It's important to follow this measurement for perfect cooking.

4. Can I cook it without a Japanese rice cooker?
Of course! You can use a regular pot with a tight-fitting lid. The secret is to cook it over medium heat without lifting the lid and let it rest for 5 minutes after turning off the heat.

5. Does this rice contain gluten?
No, rice is a naturally gluten-free grain. The term "glutinous" refers to its sticky texture, not the presence of the gluten protein.

6. How should I store the package once it is opened?
To maintain its freshness and protect it from moisture, store rice in an airtight container in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.
