It’s a medium sticky rice and not highly gummy like higher gluten rice. I would suggest this for any kitchen or cuisine. A must have stable in any kitchen. Use with kimchi, chicken, pork, beef, sushi, pickled veggies. Really the best I have tasted. Pricing is also a bargain compared to h mart or other grocery stores.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: if you cook the whole bag how many gallons of rice would you have? looking to fill a bath tub.**
A: Earlier someone said that 15 pounds of rice will make 69.78 cups of rice.  16 cups in a gallon so 4.36 gallons of rice per back.  Google says a bathtub holds at least 35 gallons so 8-10 bags oughta do it.

**Q: Is this a high glutinous rice used to make fermented rice wine?**
A: No. This is a polished, medium grain sticky rice. This is for using as a rice to be served as a side with a meal. Because this is a sticky rice it will be easier to eat with Japanese style chopsticks. You need to look for a glutinous sweet rice for what you want to do.

**Q: where is product grown?  Thank you.**
A: I have a bag, and it says "Product of USA". Yet the distributor JFC international, distributes products from Japan and Asia.  I haven't found where it says this rice is grown in California. However California is the 2nd largest producer of rice ,next to Arkansas, in the United States.

**Q: What Type Is This?**
A: It is a medium white rice. You have to cook it. It is not A quick/minute rice. It is a sticky rice. Where it was grown should be on the products Amazon page.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best rice!
*by E***J on January 30, 2026*

This is by far the best rice I’ve tried. It’s not only good for making sushi but it’s great to use for every day meals. It doesn’t get mushy or sticky like glutinous rice. I like washing it and setting it in the fridge for 20mins or even overnight before I cook. This makes it rich in taste and doesn’t spike my insulin as much. Just a heads up, when I used to work at the sushi restaurant, this is the brand and type of rice they use for sushi and everyday dishes. This is a must try!
