It's good rice, bit firm core
4 out of 5 stars
It's good rice, bit firm core
I purchased few years ago Yutaka's sushi rice in box at supermarket, I didn't like it because my sushi individual rice broke up never sticked together that time. So I was doubtful buying this Yutaka's koshi rice on offer, but these days all supermarket rice pudding rice expensive say 1,60 per 500g, also sushi rice over 2,30 pounds for 500g ,so I decided to try. This rice is produced in Vietnam, koshi means just area they grow this rice and named,so nothing to do with Koshihikari the variety of rice. This rice is I cooked it for the first time as I usually do with Waitrose sushi rice. Softness isn't same as Waitrose one ,there is a tiny firmness in the core of individual rice. But good rice is almost translucent. I put compared photos two different rice. Waitrose sushi rice and this koshi rice right hand side in the picture. I think it's good for the value. I payed just under 13pounds for 5kg this time, I'm happy. Cooked 3 times after for katsu curry or ochazuke breakfast, it's ok. make sure you soak in clean water for over 40min at least before you cook this rice. Japanese rice must soak in water over 30min in Japan, so I strongly recommend 30min or as long as possible like 1hour. I cooked sushi using this rice, made good sushi. So I will purchase this again.

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 February 2025
    Verified Purchase
    I recently tried Yutaka Koshi Rice and I couldn’t be more pleased with it! This 5kg bag of premium-grade Japanese short grain rice is an absolute game-changer in my kitchen.

    Perfect for Sushi and Sticky Rice

    We love making sushi at home, and this rice is ideal for that purpose. It cooks perfectly, has the right level of stickiness, and holds together beautifully, making it great for sushi rolls. The texture is spot-on, and it really brings the authentic flavor of Japanese sushi rice.

    In addition, it’s also perfect for sticky rice, which I use frequently for meal prep. The rice clumps together just the right amount, which makes it easy to scoop and serve, and it stays sticky even after refrigerating.

    Great for Everyday Asian Cooking

    I’ve also used it in other Asian dishes, and it’s versatile enough for any meal. Whether I’m making a stir-fry, a rice bowl, or just as a side, it cooks up quickly and consistently. It has a lovely soft texture that complements various dishes, making it a must-have in our kitchen.

    Value for Money

    Given the quality, I feel like the 5kg bag is excellent value for money, especially since I use rice so often. It lasts a while, and I appreciate how it maintains its quality over time.

    Final Thoughts

    If you’re a fan of authentic Japanese rice, I highly recommend Yutaka Koshi Rice. Whether you’re making sushi, sticky rice, or just want a high-quality rice for everyday cooking, this rice delivers perfect results every time. It’s now a staple in my kitchen, and my family loves it!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Quality Rice for Sushi and More
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 July 2024
    Verified Purchase
    I recently purchased the Yutaka Koshi Rice, and it has quickly become a favourite in my household. This 5kg bag of premium grade Japanese short grain rice is ideal for a variety of dishes, from sushi to everyday Asian cooking.

    The quality of this rice is outstanding. Each grain is perfectly shaped and polishes up beautifully when cooked. It has a slightly sticky texture, which is essential for making sushi, and it holds together well without becoming mushy. The rice has a subtle sweetness and a pleasing aroma, enhancing the flavour of any dish.

    Cooking this rice is straightforward, and it produces consistently excellent results. I use a rice cooker, and the rice turns out perfectly every time—soft, slightly sticky, and delicious. For sushi, it’s simply the best I’ve tried. The grains clump together just right, making it easy to form rolls and other shapes.

    The packaging is sturdy and keeps the rice fresh. The 5kg size is convenient for frequent use, especially for families or those who cook Asian cuisine regularly. It’s also good value for money considering the quality and quantity.

    The only minor downside is that, being a premium product, it might be a bit pricier than other types of rice. However, the superior quality justifies the cost, especially for those who appreciate authentic Japanese cuisine.

    Overall, Yutaka Koshi Rice is a top-notch choice for anyone looking to make high-quality sushi or other Asian dishes at home. Its excellent texture, taste, and consistency make it a must-have in the kitchen. Highly recommended for sushi enthusiasts and everyday cooking alike.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great flavour, sticky short grain. Suitable for sushi and any sticky rice dishes.
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 October 2021
    Verified Purchase
    Yukata pack their rice brilliantly. It's tightly vacuum sealed which keeps it very fresh.

    It's quite satisfying piercing a bag and hearing the air get sucked in as the bag loosens off and the rice settles so it's ready to pour.

    I've used a variety of Japanese culinary rice's. Due to budget constraints I look for the best price per kg for good quality short grain rice.

    Finding short grain is important. I've noticed some other sellers and brands selling what they claim is sushi rice using medium grain. Sushi rice is made using short grain. So always check the details. I believe i- sushi (who get a lot of sales) sell sub par sushi rice as it's a medium grain rice and shouldn't really be sold specifically as a sushi rice as it doesn't fit the criteria.

    I've had better sushi rice than this current yukata one. The other was in fact also from yukata but it was the more expensive sasanishiki rice. (Which as of today (19th Oct 21) is actually cheaper per kg than the koshi. Given it's a better quality rice, if you happen upon the sasanishiki and it's a better price than the koshi per kg, then go for that. You may have to opt for a 10kg bag rather than a 5kg bag, but it's worth it.

    Nishiki is the key word when looking for a good quality short grain rice.

    Prices fluctuate year round. Always aim to get the best quality rice you can as it does make a difference. Especially if you don't eat it daily so you can treat yourself to a higher end product. It's worth keeping an eye of prices and then grabbing a 5 or 10kg bag when the price is good or has a subscribe and save voucher.

    The shelf life is excellent whilst unopened due to the tightly vaccuum sealed bags that yukata use, even after opening the rice lasts a very long time as long as kept in a cool dry environment. I roll the air out of the bags and clip with pegs and fill kitchen containers to hold around 2kg of rice at a time and have found this to work very well.

    Don't forget your other essentials if embarking on Japanese cooking or sushi creation. Mirin or cooking sake, kikoman naturally fermented soy sauce (no need for the pricier sushi version, just make yourself by diluting with a little filtered water and adding a little sugar), also have a good quality rice vinegar to hand and the best quality wasabi you can source. I highly recommend a brand called Emma that make the highest content wasabi powder I could find at an outstanding price.

    With wasabi products always look at the actual wasabi content. Most contain the tiniest amount just so they can qualify as a wasabi product and instead rely on colouring and standard horseradish. The Emma wasabi powder has been by far the best I've tested out of around 10 different brands (ranging from tubes or paste to tins of powder). I'm yet to have enjoyed fresh wasabi straight from the root, but hope I get to experience this one day.
