Recommended rice brands asked by 234 residents of the United States and Canada

Even if you live abroad, the staple food is rice, which is still Japanese.

When I go to Japanese and Asian supermarkets, there are various brands of rice, and I'm wondering which one to choose. Furthermore, once you buy it, you will eat 15lbs (about 7kg), and you will not have the courage to take risks.

Even if I look it up on the Internet, I don't know how much it is advertised, and since it is a ranking that includes the subjectivity of each person, I'm not sure which one is better.

So, when I took a questionnaire on Twitter,

What234 people in totalWe were able to answer.

Thank you to everyone who responded!

Since it is a great deal, I have put it together in a blog so that it will be recorded in the records of current residents and those who will move in the future.

The results varied unexpectedly, but they were as shown in the table below.

Clicking on the name of the rice will take you to the Amazon.com link.
Normally, I think it is cheaper to buy at supermarkets, but sometimes Amazon is cheaper and there is an advantage that you do not have to carry heavy rice to your house, so if you have rice you care about Please check the link.

First place:Nishiki

The first place to be worried about is Nishiki!

It seems that many people choose Nishiki based on the balance between price and taste.

Amazon subscriptionThere is also. Even if you buy rice at a supermarket, it is heavy and difficult to buy, so regular purchase seems to be convenient.

2nd place:Tamanishiki

Although it was the second place overall,
Anyway, the taste is amazing!When,
Recommended by two professionals, a former rice wholesaler and a farmer.

3rd place:Sekka

Until now, my home has been snow flowers.

Reason"I happened to choose Yukihana first."

It's not a positive reason at all, but if you devise a way to sharpen the rice (described later), it's delicious, and sometimes it's a bargain sale at an Asian supermarket, so it's a great deal.

4th place:Brightness

Brightness is also popular. Some people buy differently depending on the sale situation.

Others:Tamaki rice

Although it is not an option this time, there were about 10 people who recommended Tamaki rice in the comment section.

Others:National treasure

There were also two people who chose the national treasure because they could buy it at Cosco. Distribution is important, isn't it?

Others: Honor, Hitomebore, Organic Rice, Thai Rice

Some people are buying Thai rice!

Bonus: How to cook delicious rice (how to sharpen)

At the beginning of this year, I saw a note about how to sharpen rice and changed the sharpening method, and the rice became delicious at once.

Just change the "rice sharpening" and the rice will be delicious easily

However, at my home, which is annoying, as described in this note,

・ Put the rice in a zip lock and store it in the refrigerator.
・ Weigh with a cooking scale,
・ Put rice in a bowl and wash

I can't do that.

What has changed is that when you put rice in the inner pot and wash it,

・ Drain the water and sharpen the rice "from"
・ Pour water and throw away turbid water

I just tried to do this about 3 times.

(Until now, I used to sharpen rice with water in it.
It's awkward to put it in the bowl, so I'm sharpening it using the inner pot ...)

This alone will make the rice insanely delicious, so please try it.

Of course, those who are careful are as written in the note ...
