What's up with the strange grains?
5 Stars
What's up with the strange grains?
I've been using this rice for decades and have never seen these strange grains of rice in a bag. They almost look like grains that haven't been processed all the way, or (heaven forbid) bug casings. What's up with this??? Not sure if it's safe to use or not.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for sushi rice in the Instant Pot!
Reviewed in the United States on November 10, 2017
Fantastic for making sticky rice for your homemade sushi! I love sushi rice with SAKE in it, and it's so simple in my Instant Pot ([[ASIN:B01B1VC13K Instant Pot DUO80 8 Qt 7-in-1 Multi- Use Programmable Pressure Cooker, Slow Cooker, Rice Cooker, Steamer, Sauté, Yogurt Maker and Warmer]]), too! Here's the recipe:

2 cups of Kokouho Rose rice
2 tbls Sake
2-1/2 cups of water minus 2 tablespoons of water. (Add 2 tablespoons of Sake to replace the 2 tablespoons of water in your second cup of water)
1/2 cup Japanese Rice Vinegar ([[ASIN:B005DG8ND2 Nakano Natural Rice Vinegar, 12 Ounce]])
1/2 tsp sea salt
5 tbls sugar

In the Instant Pot:
1.) Put the rinsed rice into the IP
2.) Whisk all other ingredients in a small bowl until sugar dissolves.
3.) Pour mixture over rice & stir.
4.) Lock the lid, make sure it is set to seal and press the 'rice' button.
5.) Use quick release and then make sushi!

If not using an Instant Pot, follow the directions on the bag :)

Quick tip: When rice is done cooking, spread it out onto a silicone mat and fan it with a paper plate or hand fan to cool it quickly. This will help it keep it's shine and be less mushy than if it cools down slowly.

* I made my rolls with smoked salmon, imitation crab meat, & avocado, then sprinkled with black & white sesame seeds and served with sriracha mayo and a dab of wasabi. I roll it with a bamboo mat that came FREE with my Nori Seaweed ([[ASIN:B01848KGZS Nagai Deluxe Sushi Nori Full Sheet 50 Count + Wel Pac Sushimaki SU BAMBOO MAT 9.5"X9.5"]]), because the Sushi Bazooka ([[ASIN:B01MZIMZ1C Sushi bazooka by Sushedo. Sushi Roll making kit [BEST QUALITY ON THE MARKET] Sushi bazooka sushi maker tube]]) uses SO MUCH rice.

I dip it all in Braggs ([[ASIN:B00014X0BQ Bragg Liquid Aminos, 32 oz]]) instead of soy sauce because it tastes the same to me and it makes for such an amazing & healthy meal! I sometimes mix this rice half and half with brown rice ([[ASIN:B0014JDY3G Lundberg Short Grain Rice, Brown, 32 Ounce]]) in the same recipe for a healthier twist. I hope it inspires someone!
