What are some good brands of short and medium grain rice? Is anything from Japan fine?

Long as you buy some Japanese shit and make it right you can't go wrong. Try and find an Asian/Nip store and buy what ever you like the look of.

I know to avoid china rice but I have seen people on here say that the California brands like KOKUHO ROSE are crappy as well. I just was not sure if there are Japanese brands I need to avoid or specific ones I should look out for.

I'm a Floridian and well traveled.
I think Diana and Goya brands of short grain Valencia rice is absolutely luscious and sticky. I've been subbing in this Caribbean favorite to make whatever I deemed perfect, from the traditional purpose of moist Cuban moros y cristianos (rice and bean blend), stuffed arancini balls/fritters or Italian risotto, to even onigiri. Puerto Rican brand "Rico" is a medium grain, and a bit less gelatinous, and also good in casseroles like chicken and yellow rice, or other baked items like that.

I'm a bit of a rice fan, and typically have at least 5 brands going at a time in my pantry, including the red/brown/wild blends from the Texmati people, canoe wild, basmati, jasmine, basmati brown, and sometimes I'll get a 2-5lb bag of konriko popcorn rice or other lousiana brand, when I'm in the mood for cajun foods. It does make a difference. I also buy Publix steam-in-bag brown rice since it saves time, and the birds eye wild rice w/ veggie blend which is nearly a fried rice minus the meat. Easy. I'd never use instant rice or converted rice. I have gone to Asian markets but have never been impressed by the quality and I fear a bit the DDT, bad waters flooding the paddies, and other practices, and try to stick to locally grown in the US brands.

I have found goya is good especially for how cheap it is. I'm investing in a nice jap rice cooker and I want to see what the higher end jap stuff is like and if it makes any real difference. I'm assuming that the food they produce domestically is free of heavy metals.

Basmati is good, but it's got to be the right brands. Not just the first indian/pakistani brand you see either, there's differences in the brands. There's even different types, personally I'm a fan of Sella Basmati rice from Aahu Bara or someshit like that.
Very nice thick and soft grains, cooks very fluffy and is easy to manage and very forgiving, even if you fuck up within certain bounds it'll be good.
Problem is the flavor to some isn't authentic or something, I've heard some ethnic people talk shit about it, but I flavor my rice with stuff so to me it's some of the best rice I've ever had.

Depends what do you want to do. For my everyday “Asian cuisine” rice I usually go with good grade koshihikari rice from Nigata.

It’s nearly impossible to get Chinese rice as they never export it.
By the way rice from colder regions like Liaoning are among the best types of rice you can get. Too bad it’s hard to get it unless you live in China.

Any good primers on rice out there?
I grew up basically with exclusively long grain, and that's still what I use to this day. Carolina brand long grain rice. What am I missing out on with short and medium grain rice.
I do occasionally make basmati rice, but rarely.

>>13327013
Brands don't matter much unless you really want good quality.
But there is actually different species of rice, like the actual crop is different. Example, Brown rice, short grain Japanese rice, long grain Thai rice etc.
Just like there is a difference between durum wheat dry pasta and fresh pasta. The flour used is different, the cooking time to al dente is different, the final texture is different. It matters.

Jasmine rice doesn't have any flavouring added, it naturally smells a little flowery. Jasmine rice is named that because the rice grain looks like a jasmine petal, not because it tastes or smells like jasmine. That said,

Yes and no. Of course different varieties are going to compete, but it's not a single competition. Different kinds of rice exist because of ten thousand years of Asians cultivating for different climates, water levels, pest resistance, disease resistance, flavor, smell, starch content, and all the other stuff people breed crops and livestock for.

I actually prefer California sushi rice. I think people fuck it up by over washing, most of the brands come pre-washed and ready to go. Another interesting asterisk worth mentioning is the ratio is 1:1 rather than 2:1
