      I’m in Canada, near Montreal but actually outside of it, near the Ontario border…. which brand of rice are my fellow neighbors getting?

      I’ve been using sushi rice and love it but its not the same, I’m looking for an every day cooking rice that still holds together with chopsticks

      Thanks

      Botan or Kokuho Rose with the pink label are reasonably good for Korean use. Both are a Calrose variety. Technically there is no such thing as sushi rice. Some brands might have that on the label but there at least 3 varieties you will see used for sushi in Japan. All are a true short grain. Calrose is a short grain hybrid.

      Koshihikari…..excellent short grain rice. Exports from Japan are super expensive. There are a few grown in California too.

      Hitomebore is another excellent short grain

      Akita Otome or Akitakomachi

      Kagayaki Select or Tamaki Gold are very good domestic Koshihikari types.
