This premium medium grain rice is very similar to the classic Japanese short-grain rice. The grains are plump, tender, glossy and very sticky. A plain bowl of steamed Hito-Aji rice can hardly be considered “plain.”
In fact, Hito-Aji is best when it can stand alone in simple dishes that emphasize the taste and texture of gourmet rice – especially sushi and rice balls. In English, Hito-Aji translates to “the best or number one flavor.” It’s an expression that is shared by meticulous sushi chefs and discerning home cooks alike.
