Is this sweet rice the same as mochi? Thank you.

Yes, it is similar to mochi rice, but the grind is not as dusty fine as the Asian type. I can still use them for different types of rice cakes, including mochi.

It's the same product, ground sweet rice, but the grind and texture may be different. I have never used mochi but would assume they are similar.

I have tried making mochi with both this brand and an Asian glutinous flour and the Asian flour worked much better. This Bob's Red Mill sweet rice flour did not yield the same gluey texture needed to make mochi. It was also very gritty. I wouldn't recommend it for this purpose.

Boy, I'm confused by MariaRL's and Wire Critic's answers. Yes, this is what is labeled as their "traditional" green tea without brown rice (known as genmaicha), but it does have a smoky flavor. If you compare it to the Yamamotoyama Sushi Bar Style and Kirtland Signature Ito En Matcha Blend green teas, you'll smell and taste the difference. As a green tea purist, I do not like this tea.

No. There is not difference in rice whether you cook it with this cooker or otherwise. This one just saves your time because of auto-off function and saves a place on your stove.

No this rice is not organic .it is non GMO and Eco farmed whatever that means. The Japonica rice is often dyed so that would also loose it the organic status if that's the case. This rice is a blend of mahogany rice so it is not true Japonica . I have found Lundberg to be a pretty good product but I now only buy organic Japonica rice because of the Potential of dyes being used .

On the nutrition facts under "Sugars" is says 26g. Under the ingredients list I only see "Organic Brown Rice Sweetener (from Organic Sprouted Brown Rice) with regards to "sugar". It doesn't really taste that sweet in my opinion. I usually add a packet of Stevia or some Agave Nectar to it for my taste. But I have a sweet tooth.

Agreed to the others lol The difference is that kimchi one has kimchi stuff in it haha not too spicy at all.

Vicki, It appears that Phoenix answered your question. I checked my packaging and concur except listed are White Rice Flour is listed before the Sweet Rice Flour on my package.

Yes, I am positive, the owner's manual has instructions for brown rice and my wife has done it. It will take longer than white rice. The cord is fixed and it is the current model. We also have had the older model for 20+ years and it still works.

Yeah, you can use short grain rice for sushi. It's stickier than long grain rice.

I did not find it as sweet as white sugar, it was more in line with a subtle brown sugar replacement in terms of sweetness. For instance, you probably wouldn't want to put this in iced sweet tea, the flavors do not reflect what the same tea would taste like & the level of sweetness for the same amount of white granulated sugar. Once when making cookies, I thought the dough was not quite sweet enough, I added about a teaspoon of agave & that lent enough sweetness for the cookie recipe I was replicating. I would try a little 'trial & error' with this item for sweetness, make a much smaller batch to try it out & see how the sweetness level compares for you.

It's best to use mochi rice, also known as sweet rice. This machine will steam then pound the rice; the result is a form of mochi. The flour that you refer to is called mochiko and is used in other mochi recipes.
