Nishiki Medium Grain Rice, 5 lb Bag Kosher Certified

Resembling pearls in appearance, this rice is rich in natural starches. When cooked as plain rice, it offers a soft, smooth texture with just the right balance of stickiness and elasticity; when simmered into porridge, it yields a thick, luscious base where the flavors meld together in perfect harmony. It boasts exceptional heat and moisture retention—even after cooling, the grains do not harden or dry out, but instead consistently maintain that delightful, springy chewiness.

Hands down the best Japanese rice out there. It's the Cadillac of medium grain white rice and it pairs well with any Asian style dish. It has a fluffy texture and is both kosher and gluten-free. I've tried other similar brands but this one is uniquely tender and fluffy, once fully cooked, in a way that other are not. This works best in a rice cooker and I would suggest rinsing the rice pror to cooking. If you're a bit of a rice snob like me, then this might be the ideal rice for you.
