My local asian market sells the small bags of short grain for around this price currently so I consider it a decent value compared to Kroger/Walmart ect.

Just curious, what makes your particular rice maker model so expensive?

I am an Asian who eats rice at least once every other day. I tried homai or kokuho rose, from costco and nishiki or this from amazon. this is far superior to any other three (followed by kokuho rose). the only downside is the price. I would definitely recommend this at this price.

Wrong. I bought this last time it was on a deal. There is no difference between this or nishiki. I am asian too and I eat rice 3x a day.

"any other short grain rice are all the same" makes no sense. Even if you don't think the different brands are different, there are several different cultivars of short grain rice in Japan, each with their own properties. That's kinda like saying Red Delicious or Honey Crisp, they're all just apples.

I'm Japanese and personally prefer Tamaki Gold, but Tamanishiki is my second favorite. That said, here in the SF Bay Area there are several Japanese grocery chains and Tamanishiki or Tamaki Gold goes on sale every few months for around $20-$25 for 15lb bags. It's also late summer now so we'll probably start seeing the new crop soon.

I disagree. I am not Asian but I do have Asian friends.

Our Ameriasian cook swears by Rhee Chun Extra Fancy New Variety Rice, and while she is an anti-Korean racist, she gives high props to this Korean branded US grown rice; it's a rip on Amazon, but if you can find it locally it's fragrant and flavorful and far superior to any of the above mentioned Japonica rices.

We purchased the OP's rice on the last deal, but were little impressed. It's not a bad rice for the price, just not awesome YRMV
