More on Japanese rice…

Japanese rice is grown all over in Japan where a bowl of rice is included in most meals. Japanese style rice is also grown in the US. Kokuho Rose is available from our Mount Fuji online shop.

Most Japanese use rice cookers (to which measured amounts of washed rice and water are added). The rice is first washed until the water becomes clear. Then, before cooking it is usually soaked in water. It is then boiled using a ratio of about five parts of water to four parts of rice. After this it is steamed until the centre of the rice becomes soft. Salt is never added to the rice.

Mount Fuji rice tip: One method for steaming rice is to use a bamboo steamer. Pop in some vegetables and some nori for variety. It’s the perfect dish for an impressive dinner party.
