Premium for sure. I made sushi and it turned out perfectly! After reading a couple of reviews saying they had bugs.. I didn't experience this but I suggest transferring to a sealed container to be safe. Even though the material of the packaging feels premium, it does say on package that there are a few micro holes in it for breathing. This rice is so fresh and you can even see that when it's uncooked. It's delicious on its own, and it made perfect sushi rolls. If they keep the price, I will always be a loyal customer! Review: Great sticky rice! - This rice is great. I cook it in my Aroma Housewares 20 Cup Cooked (10 cup uncooked) Digital Rice Cooker, Slow Cooker, Food Steamer, SS Exterior (ARC-150SB) and it comes out great! You really need to make sure you wash the rice very well though before putting it into this rice cooker. If you do not, the starch will collect on the bottom and crisp up causing some rice to crisp to the bottom. It isn't too bad and you can easily salvage 80% of the rice if this happens, but spending an extra minute washing it will prevent this. These crispy parts can actually be kind of tasty too... Pros: *Great taste *Great stickiness Cons: *None Additional Considerations: This rice is sticky and made for use in something like sushi. It is also great just eating by itself. if you want a more loose rice, look at a basmati or something other than sushi rice. Overall: 5/5 stars (>=.5 rounds up, 5 stars If you have any further questions regarding the product in my review please leave a comment below and I will get back to you as soon as possible. ## Features - The package length of the product is 2.2 inches - The package width of the product is 6.3 inches - The package height of the product is 11.3 inches - Country of origin is Japan ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0001DMT1E | | ASIN | B0001DMT1E | | Allergen Information | Non-GMO | | Best Sellers Rank | #58,052 in Grocery & Gourmet Food ( See Top 100 in Grocery & Gourmet Food ) #106 in Dried White Rice | | Brand Name | Nishiki | | Coin Variety 1 | Rice | | Container Type | Bag | | Cuisine | Japanese | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (1,353) | | Diet Type | Kosher | | Flavor | sushi rice | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Form | Grain | | Item Package Quantity | 1 | | Item Package Weight | 2.27 Kilograms | | Item Weight | 5 Pounds | | Item model number | 0011152285894 | | Manufacturer | Nishiki | | Manufacturer | Nishiki | | Number of Items | 1 | | Product Dimensions | 2.2 x 6.25 x 11.3 inches; 5 Pounds | | Protein | 3 Grams | | Serving Range | 54 | | Size | 5 Pound (Pack of 1) | | UPC | 778894245264 011152285894 | | UPC | 778894245264 011152285894 | | Unit Count | 80.0 Ounce | | Units | 80.0 Ounce | | Vitamins And Minerals | 0 Milligrams | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Nishiki - **Item Package Quantity:** 1 - **Item Weight:** 5 Pounds - **Number of Items:** 1 - **Unit Count:** 80.0 Ounce ## Images ![Premium Sushi Rice, 80 oz - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/816ycLLx-VL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Any idea on pesticide levels/GMOs/irradiation?** A: If you are that concerned about it, you probably should not eat anything. Almost everything that we eat is GMO, whether is says so or not, it is how we got the variety of food that we have in the world today, organic or not GMO is a payoff to say it it not GMO even though it is.. You will likely ignore this information, but as a scientist , there it is! **Q: Is a bag resealable? made in US or imported?** A: No, it's not resealable. I tend to empty mine into a rather large tupperware-type container anyhow, so that air and bugs cn't get to it.The rice is grown, as best I know, in the US-- likely California. **Q: What is this rice treated/prepared with?** A: The rice is a premium rice that's more sticky than the typical medium grain rice, which people have used to make sushi. It's our understanding the rice is a premium grade and selected for it's quality. **Q: This picture says pack of 8, is it 1 or 8 bags?** A: One bag ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love this rice! *by N***1 on July 29, 2024* Great size and value!

The rice holds together well and has a nice flavor. It would probably be good to make sushi, as well. --- ## 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.mx/products/4071928-premium-sushi-rice-80-oz](https://www.desertcart.mx/products/4071928-premium-sushi-rice-80-oz) --- *Product available on Desertcart Mexico* *Store origin: MX* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
