This rice has a robust flavor and aroma, along with an appealing stickiness. It suits heavily-seasoned dishes, and is recommended for teishoku set meals, yakiniku grilled meat dishes, and onigiri rice balls.
This rice achieves a light taste through good umami, low stickiness, and moderate firmness. It pairs well with any side dish and is the perfect candidate for sushi rice. Also recommended for rice bowls, curry & rice, fried rice, and other meals.
