Japanese Rice "Haenuki"

If you are looking for rice to ensure your sushi or maki preparations turn out well, Umai Grocery offers this premium Haenuki rice. This variety has all the advantages to develop fluffy, elastic, and sticky grains. The Japanese Grain Inspection Association (Tokken) awards Haenuki the Special A (Toku-A) rating, which is the highest on their scale. This Haenuki grows in Yamagata Prefecture, a region with an environment favorable to its cultivation. The rice fields extend on the foothills of the mountains with an oceanic influence to soften the harshness of the climate. The forest provides its nutrients through groundwater and rivers to nourish the rice plants. All of this allows for the production of high-quality grains. Ideal for sushi, Haenuki rice is also very suitable for making risotto. It is available in a 500g bag. 

Usage: Haenuki rice is ideally suited for sushi, maki, and onigiri. It easily competes with Italian rice for risotto. The rice should be rinsed several times before cooking, until the water is clear. For one volume of rice, use 1.2 volumes of water. Once the water is absorbed, wait 10 minutes, then fluff the rice by mixing it. After that, trust your skills or your favorite recipe for preparing sushi rice. 

Storage: Store in a dry and cool place. Keep away from light. 

Ingredients: Polished Haenuki rice. 

Shelf life: 3 years.
