You slap the bag.
Niigata is the best rice producing region. I had no idea Costco stocked this!
NSW only?
OP found it in Perth.
Also saw it yesterday in Adelaide
how is this compared to sun rice?
Haven't tried this but daresay significantly different- chalk and cheese
Get a decent rice cooker, even the normal Sun rice taste good.
No colander!
haiyaaaaahhhhhhh
now you just need chilli jam and sun rice will taste good
Niigata is over the other side of the country.
How so? Have you googled it? The region is right next to Fukushima. Ok jap fan boys enough negs but I am saying the fact. Your choice to consume the rice.
I've actually been to within a kilometre if the plants at Fukushima and stayed and travelled throughout Niigata. Niigata is on the north west coast, Fukushima is on the north east. The top soil where the radiation went to did not, as far as I know, extend to Niigata. Here is where niigata is:

@TheRealCher: To face the fact, I am sure you are wrong. The radioactive contamination are largely spreaded up to Kumamoto the south west. The power plants are not like the one in Chernobyl, not sealed but still producing the contamination. Fukushima rice is one of the Japan’s best rice but now it is consumed by the poor, franchised cheap sushi shops and the oversea travelers, no other Japanese dare to try the rice from Fukushima and the near including Niigatta ones. You can find it from Green peace and 60 minutes. Again it is your choice to consume the rice.
More for me
Agree, better buy rice from other origin not Japan.
Glow in the dark rice. Super fun for the kids!
Its bloody expensive but bloody good
How does this compare to the 10kg for $17.99 Koshihikari rice that you can find at Spud Shed that is Made in Vietnam?
Vietnam is second best for Japanese rice (outside of Japan) imo. You'll notice if you cook it right, not as much if you don't.
Don't rinse the rice after cooking ok? No colander.
Uncle Roger approved!
Haiyaa…
Can this use as sushi rice?
yes its short grain, source: lived in Japan
source: lived in Japan
Rice or you?
I think koshikari is the strain of rice grain that's normally used to market as sushi rice in the west.
"Sushi rice" is not a strain of rice. The "sushi rice" marketed in Australia is usually koshihikari.
don't use a colander.
Have been tempted to try this but can’t get over the price!
I think cheaper at an asian grocery, if you want to get 10kg or 20kg
Most from Asian grocery are not product of Japan.
Will it fall through the holes in my colander?
Not trying to compare…
Just letting you know
Australian SunRice Koshihikari Rice is half price if you buy bigger bag - last time I saw 20kg for ~$57 in an Asian grocery store.
What now?
