Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Tamaki haiga mai is healthier than regular rice. It is flavorful even without any additional food (such as curry) this is a rice that you can eat for its own sake. Darned well worth it.

Tamaki is my favorite us brand of japanese rice. Cooks sticky enough for sushi but doesn’t as readily veer into excessive soft stickiness. Easy to cook in a zojirushi rice cooker.

The flavor and texture are wonderful. The flavor is awesome!

It lives up to the great reviews. My family loves it and it never goes to waste. Excellent rice, no question about it.

Cons

Heed my warning. This rice is either dead or spoiled. Will not be ordering anymore.

Price

Shipping

There is no damage on the package upon arrival, amazon did a good job on shipping and delivery.

It's a bit pricier at amazon than at japanese markets in san diego, but with free shipping, it's well worth it.

Competitiveness

Once you open the big 15lb bag, you’ll find 3 plastic bags of 5lb rice, to keep it fresher.

Note: i cook it in a zojirushi ns-zac18 on the "harder" setting.

I am a bit ambivalent that i ordered a same day purchase of a giant bag of rice, rather than go across town to get it at nijiya market.
