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.

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.
For home cooking Tamaki Gold is the top notch. I only use Tamaki. For restaurant use any cheap old rice from Asian grocery stores are good.

The one difference with the Homai brand at Costco is it's super dusty and requires more washing. I can't tell the difference after that, though.

You are absolutely correct. There is no way is have any idea what you are doing in your own home.

Yup. No idea what so ever....
Yeah, it is not the rice so much as it is the person who cooks the rice.😀

Thought it was Botan Rice Candy for a second. Nothing like being a kid eating that inner wrapper!

You clearly haven't had better. Botan is fine. We use it in our household. Good Japanese rice blows it out of the water.
Dude i was just in japan and the chefs buy from costco too. Its how you marinate the rice.
