Our unique Blonde Milled California Japonica has a superior texture and the natural sweetness and nuttiness of the grain shines through, making it a truly unique product. Our artisan mill lightly removes the bran layer of the rice to provide some of the health benefits of brown rice while still preserving the sweet, delicious taste and quick cooking time of white rice. Plus, its BEAUTIFUL! Japonica is a medium grain Calrose rice originating from Japan that is extremely versatile and exhibits a sweet and complex flavor. It is excellent for sushi and all Japanese and Korean dishes but is versatile enough for use in a risotto, stir fry, or any other rice dish, or even stand alone as a side!
