Although the production process of Japanese rice is very elaborate and meticulous, the process of cooking Japanese rice is not as difficult as you think. To cook the right Japanese-style rice, you can refer to the following steps:

Step 1: Measure the rice

You take a sufficient amount of rice to eat. To cook Japanese rice, you can use a regular pot or a cooker.

Step 2: Wash the rice

You put water in the pot so that the amount of water on the surface is about 3-4 knuckles from the rice. Then you proceed to wash 2-3 times until the water is transparent.

According to the Japanese experience: when washing rice, they will use 5 fingers to rotate it clockwise. For the second water, gently rub the rice grains like a massage to prevent the rice grains from breaking.

Step 3: Drain and dehumidify the rice

Wash the rice and drain, then put the rice in the pot, and cover it with a clean damp cloth for 30 minutes to let the rice absorb the moisture. After 30 minutes, you cook rice as usual.

4. How the Japanese preserve rice

The Japanese are very meticulous and pay attention to the quality of food and issues directly related to health. Therefore, in this country, consumers are often fussy eaters, they often buy rice that has only been peeled, not polished, and still has bran, then brought back and stored it in the refrigerator. When needing to use it, they bring rice to mini-mills to refine rice.

In Vietnam, there are no mini factories like this. Many families have the habit of buying a lot of rice to fill up the bin. The reason is that buying many prices will be cheaper, not having to go to buy many times. And according to the concept of feng shui, rice is always full, and the money in the family is abundant. However, if the storage conditions of rice are not good, it is easy to get weevils and reduce the quality of rice.

How to preserve rice as good as new?

• Please make sure that the rice you buy is new. New rice is of course always better and better quality than old rice. Besides, new rice will not cause damage, weevils, or disease-causing larvae. Do not buy old rice and rice grains that are discolored and too dry.

  Rice is a highly hygroscopic food, sunlight and moisture can cause the rice to degrade in quality, and lose its flavor and nutrient content inherent in Japanese rice. If possible, you can follow the Japanese to divide the amount of rice in a plastic container, cover it, and put it in the refrigerator. Otherwise, it can be stored in a dedicated rice container. Store rice in a cool place, away from moldy places and direct sunlight. It is best to keep the rice at room temperature around 25 degrees Celsius.
