  • Our take on the Tamanishiki Short Grain Microwavable Rice

    Tamanishiki microwavable rice is par-cooked short grain rice in single-serving pouches that you heat in the microwave and eat straight from the packet. The grain is the same premium short grain Tamanishiki is known for, so it comes out sticky and clumped rather than loose and separate. It suits people who want a bowl of Japanese-style rice with a meal without washing, soaking or running a rice cooker. Against rival pouch rices it leans on grain quality over speed or added flavors; the trade-off is a softer texture than freshly cooked rice and a higher cost per serving than dry rice.

    Questions and answers

    How do you cook Tamanishiki microwavable rice?
    Tear or vent the pouch as directed and microwave it for the time on the packet, usually a couple of minutes. Let it stand briefly, then fluff and serve.
    Is it good for sushi?
    It is short grain and sticky, so it holds together better than long grain pouch rice. It is softer than freshly cooked sushi rice, so season and cool it carefully if you use it for rolls.
    Does it contain seasoning or salt?
    It is plain cooked rice with no seasoning, so it works with any dish and you control the salt.
    How does it compare with a rice cooker?
    A rice cooker gives firmer, more separate grains and costs less per serving. The pouch wins on speed and cleanup.
    How should I store the pouches?
    Keep them in a dry pantry and check the packet for the use-by date. Once heated, eat the rice rather than saving it.
