Akafuji Akitakomachi Sushi Rice - Delicate Japanese Taste

Sushi rice, Akitakomaki, is a Japanese short grain rice created for sushi, nigiri and onigiri, ideal for both home cooking and professional kitchens that demand consistency. Grown in Akita Prefecture, this bean stands out for its pleasant taste and superior quality, able to retain its shape and moisture after cooking.

• Origin: Grown in Akita Prefecture, Japan for authentic flavor and high quality standards.
• Bean type: Short grain rice, optimal for defining texture in sushi and onigiri.
• Texture after cooking: Sticky but firm to the bite, ideal for rolls and rice packets.
• Packaging: Practical 2 kg package, suitable for households, restaurants and events.
• Ingredients: Short grain rice, without additions or additional ingredients.
• Cooking instructions: Wash the rice well. Soak in water in a ratio of 1.5:1 for about 40 minutes, then cook until the water evaporates. If using a rice cooker, continue steaming until the end. Without the appliance, simmer for 15 minutes, then rest for another 15 minutes.

This rice is the ideal solution for achieving professional looking sushi in the comfort of your home. The short grain provides a moderately sticky texture, eliminating the risk of the rice breaking during rolling or nigiri cutting, while maintaining the necessary moisture to keep the rice from becoming dry or crumbly. Akitakomaki pairs perfectly with classic sushi ingredients – salmon, tuna, shrimp, cucumber and avocado – but also with traditional umami flavors such as soy sauce and wasabi for an authentic experience.
