Nomura - Tsuru Mai Japanese Rice 2.26 Kg

Mochigome Sticky Rice (USA Origin)

Japanese Mochigome sticky rice is a short-grain rice variety particularly appreciated for its soft, chewy, and naturally sticky texture after cooking. Contrary to its name, Japanese sweet rice does not have a sweeter taste than other rices, but it stands out for its unique texture, ideal for many Japanese preparations.

Nomura Golden Crane sticky rice is grown in California and selected to meet the needs of Japanese cuisine. Its slightly elastic texture and ability to clump well make it a preferred ingredient for preparing Japanese mochi, rice-based desserts, or traditional dishes like Sekihan (Japanese red rice).

A Japanese rice ideal for traditional preparations

Mochigome holds an important place in Japanese cuisine, especially during holidays and special occasions. After cooking, its grains become tender, shiny, and particularly sticky, making it easy to create recipes requiring a compact and chewy texture.

This gluten-free Japanese sticky rice is also suitable for Asian preparations such as rice cakes, sweet rice balls, or certain steamed dishes. It can be used alone or mixed with other rice varieties depending on the desired recipe.
