A lady in my Japanese grocery shop advised it saying it's better than the US produced and she was right (of course it depends on the brand...). The worst thing is that now when I -rarely - go to a Japanese restaurant or buy some maki in my favourite self-service shop, the rice seems so bad ;-) (I think they buy the cheapest US rice, even not Koshihikari).

If you can buy Koshihikari rice produced in the United Stated cheap, don't you think that's wonderful? Some people say that Koshihikari rice produced in California is as good as that produced in Japan.Hiroyukihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07075672590298671343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3101980281470446262.post-61522080386364563432013-03-04T23:41:39.992+09:002013-03-04T23:41:39.992+09:00I tried to find japanese rice here (online or loca...I tried to find japanese rice here (online or local shops) produced in Japan - no way. Yes, they sell koshihikari and call it japanese rice but it is all produced in the USA.<br /> Fräulein Trudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11786420907067152211noreply@blogger.com
