15 lb bag of rice is MASSIVE. It's delicious and really versatile. We've used it for sushi, stir fry, rice bowls, normal sides, etc.

Excellent product

I have a Zojirushi rice cooker. This stuff seems like it was made for it. The rice comes out with the perfect texture for a lot of things. It's really smooth. You can feel each rice kernel as you eat it. The bag says to just use the rice cooker's white rice settings, and that's exactly what I did. It came perfect.This also makes very good fried rice, or any kind of rice that you cook with day old rice. I have made both fried rice and a Cajun blackened rice dish. Both came out great. The blackened rice dish was just rice, reheated in a pan sauce made from reverse searing some spicy chicken breasts in oil with a few other things added in. It's something I make sometimes when I sous vide chicken breasts. This rice probably worked better with that dish than any I've tried before. I'm definitely going to go all out and make some dirty rice with this. I think it will work great.You can also just make plain old white rice with this. I did that at first, and just added some MSG, soy sauce and furikake on top. It was quite good. True sushi rice is better for that though. It's also more expensive though.

You don’t really know how much space 15 pounds of rice takes up in your cupboard until Amazon delivers a 15-pound bag to your door! Be forewarned: this is a whole lotta rice! So, unless you own a restaurant or have a very large family, this might be too much rice for you to take on at once. It’s a commitment, that’s for sure! Then again, it’s an awfully good value for premium rice… and it’s fresh. In March of 2024, I received a bag that was packed in January of 2024. I saw no expiration date on the product, but rice is shelf stable and should last many years… almost indefinitely.The rice itself is a high-quality medium grain rice, and perfectly complements almost any meal, especially sushi, where it shines, and Asian-influenced stir fry dishes. Cooks well and once cooked, fries up nicely. Pairs well with fish and chicken and can be used in Mexican cuisine and burritos, too!

Medium grain rice does not clump together like short grain, because medium grain rice that has less starch than short grain (sushi rice). With long grain rice having the least starch (Basmati). Cooking time and amount of water required is the same. When cooking rice, at the end of the cooking time, you need to fluff up the rice and let it rest for couple of minutes.
