Japanese Rice Recipes FAQs

What makes Japanese rice taste so good?

Japanese rice is renowned for its sticky texture and slightly sweet taste. This is down to the starch content of the short-grain rice used and the high moisture content when cooked.

What do they put on rice in Japan?

Japanese rice is a versatile dish that can be combined with various ingredients. Some popular choices in Japan include teriyaki chicken, tempura shrimp, grilled salmon, marinated beef, braised pork and soft-boiled egg.

What is the best Japanese cooking rice?

Short-grain white rice is the best variety for creating Japanese rice dishes. Koshihikari is a popular choice and widely available, but Sasanishiki and Tsuyahime are also excellent rice options, although maybe not as easy to find.

Do I need to soak Japanese rice before cooking?

Yes. Japanese rice must be rinsed and soaked before cooking to achieve its signature stickiness. This helps the rice absorb water and allows it to cook evenly.

What happens if you don't soak Japanese rice?

By skipping the soaking process before cooking, your rice is likely to become mushy when cooked. In addition, the rice may not cook evenly throughout.
