that is made with glutinous/sweet rice. Yes, it is also sticky. And also called sticky rice. But it is a whole different type of rice grain. And the only rice that doesn't really stick naturally is basmati and whatever uncle Bens is.
And Jasmine rice is the midway point for stickiness and grain length
To the rest of the potato-starchers in the thread: This is just general purpose rice that is consumed by East and most Southeast Asians
Yes, this rice can be used for sushi, but it technically wouldn't be sushi rice until it is prepped/seasoned with rice vinegar and some sugar. Nishiki also sells the bottle of sushi rice vinegar that pairs with this lol

There's nothing special about the price on this item, no idea why it's even being discussed on SD right now
This is sushi rice primarily made for making sushi rolls. I also use it for Poke Bowls.
Glutinous Rice=Sticky Rice which contains more sugars. It is used in many Thai Style and dessert dishes. Glutinous Rice is soaked for hours, then steamed in a wicker basket (or wired screen if you don't have a wicker basket) to achieve a sticky consistency.
Jasmine Rice is what most Asian restaurants serve with meals. It is a long grain. This is what you see at Costco/Sams Club in the 25-50lbs bags. Basmati or Long Grain rice are comparable.

After you wash it let it soak in the cooking water for 30 minutes before cooking. Instant pot high pressure @11 minutes, natural pressure release and then fluff. This stuff pretty decent.
I personally buy their Haiga rice which is is hybrid white/brown(hull removed but germ is left in tact).Texture, digestibility and flavor closer to white but has added nutrients of brown. Also, since the hull is removed the arsenic concerned are lowered.
