Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Tamanishiki has a great flavor and cooks up al dente with a nice sauce, thanks to the starch. It calls for a simple, direct style that emphasizes the play of flavours, textures and colour. The flavor and the texture are both very good.

This is a little pricey compared to what i'm used to paying. During a pandemic, i stay home as much as i can. Price is slightly higher but it saves me a trip to lug it from the store.

Wishing it was in a ziplok bag so i wouldnd have to store it in a big tupperware. But very edible other wise.

I find myself rinsing this 3-4 times before i cook it. My wife makes fun of me for using it instead of cooking it stove top but whatever lol. I cook using a jojirushi induction heating system rice cooker & warmer np-gbc05.



Cons

The rice itself is something black/fray in color.

Quality


The quality is as good as buying at the store


Definitely a quality product that i do not mind paying a bit extra for

Price


Price is slightly higher but it saves me a trip to lug it from the store


Avoid first supermarket in future they are price gouging during the covid epidemic


Nishiki tastes better to me and considering the price difference ill stay with nishiki from now on


So when the price is good i buy this one without hesitation but when the price is too high i go to other brands

Shipping


5 times as much and worse they attempt to hide it by charging a ridiculous amount for shipping


99 for a 15 pound bag with free shipping

Competitiveness


I use a zojirushi neuro fuzzy cooker with this and the results are perfect every time even when making just a single cup


We love this rice have been using it in our zojirushi rice maker for quite some time


Other than the taste there really wasnt any other functional difference between the two rices other than tamanishiki being slig...  Read More


Tamaki gold is not even close to tamanishiki

    I buy this rice locally from a japanese grocer and i pay literally 20 for this bag of rice but assume that its way overpriced because everyone flocks to amazon to panic buy and that pushes the price of everything into the stratosphere

    The price is pretty steep but i can’t seem to go back to regular white rice after trying japanese rice

    One complaint thoughi just received this rice on the 14th of april and i tried to reorder it now as delivery time was extended and the price has already increased from about 39 to about 55

    With the wuhan virus concerns i have noticed significant rushes on all types of rice at local markets and very significant price increases for rice offered online via amazon
