Getting the right japonica for your menu

Japonica rice varies in stickiness, grain size and water absorption. For sushi, buyers usually want a short grain rice with good stickiness and gloss. For ready meals and food-service, a medium grain rice that holds its texture after reheating is often preferred.

Tell us how the rice will be cooked and served, and we will propose a suitable grade and send samples for testing.
