Japanese RICE | How to Cook Rice in a Rice Cooker

Cooking rice in a Japanese household.
What is Japanese rice?
How to cook it?
How much water?
How much do you wash?
Do you soak the rice before cooking it?
Yes, in textbooks. In real life, with white rice and modern rice cookers, I never felt it was necessary. The rice cooks thoroughly and evenly.
*If you eat brown rice, it’s better to soak the rice for 30 minutes before cooking it.

I just watched so many videos in youtube on how to rinse the rice like a pro. He is the ONLY one who knows how really to rinse the rice! ダンケ！

I called it japanese rice too. Or sumo rice - brand of the rice. Because its easier to differentiate from local rice, and others such as jasmine and basmati

[@japanese1cooking]

Wow!! That’s a cool brand name!! You’re right, I guess Japanese rice is a category on its own.

In regards to the excess water, a Japanese friend said she uses a larger bowl to save the water. Uses it on her plants, and household cleaning.
We live in Australia with water restrictions. New subscriber :)

[@japanese1cooking]

[@berrylabado5420]

What that rice name

[@japanese1cooking]

Japanese rice, but may be marketed as SUSHI RICE overseas😊

@@japanese1cooking thanks

[@matheusaguiar5620]

Thanks for teaching how to cook uruchimai with home appliances that I don't have :)

[@japanese1cooking]

Sorry about that... In Japan, Zojirushi research says 97% of Japanese households have a rice cooker. Maybe it’s like having an oven in the households of western countries.
If this helps:
Cook uruchimai in a pot ideally with a heavy lid.
1. Wash(same as what I showed in the video)
2. Water : rice in ratio 1.2 : 1
3. Soak for 20-30 minutes
4. High heat until it comes to a ROLLING boil
5. Medium low heat for 8-10 minutes
6. Super low heat for 2-5. The more you cook here, you can achieve OKOGE(burnt crust at the bottom).
7. Let it rest for 15 minutes.

turn off the water when you're not using it. it's a waste of water and also it's loud noise while you're talking

[@doreenlee9345]

Please don't waste water. Off the tap when not using.

[@japanese1cooking]

Will be more careful next time!!
