Nishiki

California-grown medium-grain rice that is a go-to for sushi at home.

Their story

Nishiki is a rice brand sold in the United States by JFC International, a distributor of Japanese and Asian foods. The name means brocade in Japanese, and the word doubles as the brand's logo.

The rice is grown in California, and Nishiki has become a familiar bag in home kitchens for sushi, rice bowls and everyday meals.

How it's made

Nishiki is a California-grown medium-grain rice of the type known as New Variety, similar to Calrose. Medium-grain rice like this is the usual choice for sushi and other Japanese dishes.
