I normally use Nishiki for my sushi rice, but I've heard good things about Botan. Plus this is about a buck cheaper than Nishiki right now. Thanks and rep'd!
Sneaky Amazon gives you a 15% discount on Nishiki when you subscribe & save, but only 5% discount on Botan, so Nishiki is still a little cheaper. Despite the advertising, these brands are really not the same quality as the better brands sold sold in Japanese grocery stores or used in better sushi restaurants. We use them for family meals, though.
All Calrose are the same, dont be fooled by branding. Get from Costco

Sneaky Amazon heard you and regardless the lesser S&S discount, the Botan is now 13 cents cheaper. Big Grin

I buy Shirakiku Koshihikari rice from my local Asian grocery stores. It's very expensive compared to other rice, but it's magically good.

Koshihikari (cultivar/varietal) rice are generally very good and pretty much all I buy. Brand wise, my personal favorites are Tamaki Gold (#1) . I also like Tamanishiki as well. They are expensive, but my local Japanese grocery stores put them on sale every few months and I try to stock up when they do.

That said, if your main goal is making sushi, I believe Sasanishiki (cultivar, not brand) is preferred - something about it not losing as much flavor even when cooled. I use Koshihikari for everything though so I don't have any brands to recommend.

Grown here in California, just a few miles north of Sacramento. Now I'm thinking about sushi for dinner.

Tried it recently and it is better than Nishiki according to my Japanese wife.
