Emma Basic - Koshi Sushi Rice 5kg | Superior Grade | Gluten Free | Sticky | Perfect for sushi rice, and everyday Asian cooking

I bought this 5kg bag of Emma Basic Koshi Sushi Rice for a few homemade sushi nights, and it’s been a great choice overall.Pros:Great texture: The rice cooks up nice and sticky, just like you want for sushi. It holds together well without being too mushy.Good quality: It’s consistent in texture and flavour—perfect for sushi or even just rice bowls and side dishes.Large quantity: The 5kg bag lasts a while, which is great if you make sushi often or need rice for big meals.Affordable: For the quality and quantity, this is a pretty budget-friendly option compared to other sushi rice brands.Cons:Takes some practice: Like any sushi rice, you’ll need to get the cooking technique right (soaking, rinsing, etc.) to get the perfect results.Not pre-seasoned: Some might prefer rice that’s already seasoned with vinegar, sugar, and salt, but that’s easy to do yourself.Overall, a solid, reliable sushi rice that delivers on both quality and value. Great for anyone who makes sushi at home regularly!

Great rice, very tasty.

First time to try this brand but their description is correct, it’s a fairly balanced rice - soft enough meanwhile still sharp clear texture. Fairly value for money choice! (I don’t like they generalised rice in other countries though…

For the price I this rice is fantastic value, my go to rice for a veggie Japanese Curry! I love the texture and fragrant flavour, would recommend.

I’m really disappointed with the Emma Basic Sushi Rice. It has no aroma, tastes bland, and lacks the subtle sweetness you’d expect from proper sushi rice. The texture is off—it's not sticky enough to bind well for sushi rolls, making it frustrating to work with.The package size is decent, but given the lack of quality, it feels like poor value for money. It simply doesn't deliver on functionality or flavour. I won’t be using this again and wouldn’t recommend it for sushi-making.

people need to know how good this is. Worked great for my sushi making date night.

Very Poor quality rice!!

I'm originally from Japan, living in rural Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿, this is the only rice I buy now because of the great quality and consistency as well as price!
