Japanese Short-Grain Rice


Disambiguation

Japanese short-grain rice is often labeled as 'sushi' rice, but is not strictly for use in sushi.


Description

A short-grain cultivar of Japonica rice characterized by its unique stickiness and texture. The kernels are plump and short and contain more moisture and are stickier than other varieties. Some recipes will call for 'sushi rice' but they should call for this. Sushi rice is the prepared dish, not the cultivar of rice.
