Everyone claiming this is not for sushi has no idea what they're talking about. This is a high grade calrose rice and one of the go to's for sushi in the US. It has a high enough starch content (amylose) to handle being mixed with your seasoned vinegar and still hold together properly.

Edit - I have come to slightly prefer Nishiki over Botan and Kokuho calroses as it seems to stay a bit fluffier after seasoning (when cooked in a Zoji)

Ok I know these SD forums are a haven for armchair experts but I refuse to believe that there are suddenly so many rice specialists here

No, it's something that Americans made up

A surprising number of sushi places in the U.S. use medium grain rice because the proper type of short grain rice is either unavailable or prohibitively expensive

To the best of my knowledge, nearly all japonica is grown and consumed in California because it requires flood irrigation, and the demand is high enough and the transportation costs low enough to justify the crop

After watching the award winning film, "Jiro dreams of sushi" the amount of time that goes into preparing rice is astounding! As Crazy Horse states, real sushi rice is short grain Frown

I was thinking the same thing? Not sure if this is higher quality or something different
