Japonica Round Rice

Japonica Round Rice, also known as Sushi Rice or Japanese Rice, is a high-quality, short-grain rice that originated from Japan. The rice has a round, pearly white, smooth, delicate, and less broken appearance. The texture of japonica rice is characterized by its stickiness and ability to hold together well when cooked.

This sticky texture of cooked japonica rice is primarily due to its high amylopectin content, and how it is processed and cooked. Amylopectin is a type of starch that is responsible for the sticky and cohesive texture of cooked rice. Japonica rice tends to have a lower gelatinization temperature compared to other types of rice, which contributes to its softer and stickier texture when cooked. These factors combine to give japonica rice its characteristic texture that is prized in East Asian cuisines.

Our milling and supply of japonica round rice is done around the year for this tasty top-quality rice. But since paddy quantity is limited due to crop harvest, so buyer's orders must be secured early to avoid occasional stock shortages.
