Is this rice good for making sushi?

I use it to make sushi. It works well with the flavoring I use to make the sushi with the nori (seaweed) on the outside of the sushi roll.

It is very good rice for making sushi;however, the ratio of vinegar and sugar is very important.

This is the only rice we use when making sushi. We've used it for 25+ years!

This is definitely "sticky rice" but I haven't used it for sushi... I really enjoy the quality of this rice, it cooks proper each time, it has a good taste and is reasonably priced on Amazon. If you eat rice often as I do, I recommend giving this a try!

Absolutely! We've done so several times and loved the results. Important note: although this is a quality rice, it still has some sort of harmless dusty stuff, probably to keep it from sticking. It helps a lot if you rinse the uncooked grains until the water runs clear, before cooking as usual for sushi. ;)

Yes,you just cook sushi rice like a .regular rice. I cook sweet rice in my rice cooker ,and they are more stickier than sushi rice.

I cook it in my rice cooker all the time. I use the same amount of water as for white rice. I like it a bit chewy. You might add an extra Tablespoon or two of water if you like it softer.

Haven't tried raw rice, but my impression is that it would not be a problem. The machine is sturdy, and has no trouble with annatto seed for example.

I have never even eaten sushi grade tuna! Sorry lol. But I do love it it sears steaks very well it also can cook eggs without burning them. It is quick to heat the glass lid is a right seal. I mean I love it if it were to break I would buy another one. But it's real sturdy and quality built. If I were to buy this for the first time it would be because of the many different things it can cooke really well. I am sorry I could answer your question more specifically about the sushi grade tuna. But again you shouldn't limit yourself to one thing when thinking about buying this. I use it more then my stove!

We use it to make large batches for our local Shelter. It comes with a measuring cup for the rice and there are markings on the inside of the liner for how much water to add. I think you could make as little as five cups of cooked rice, though we use 10 lbs of raw rice at a time. Our rice is part of a large meal for about 60 homeless folks. We would love to buy one of the Zojirushi cookers, but the price is prohibitive. For much less money, this is a great rice cooker that is relatively foolproof if you carefully follow the enclosed instructions. Don't lose those! Honestly, it seems like overkill if you primarily want it for small amounts. Its also pretty large so we keep it in our garage.

Yes! It is very easy to make with this rice cooker and it comes out great! There are lines on the inside that show you how much water to put for 0.5 or 1.0 cups of rice for porridge.

I push the sushi out of the Sushezi directly onto nori seaweed paper. It is easy to roll and the seaweed paper has cutting lines on it already. Also make sure that you are using sushi rice because it is almost impossible to make sushi correctly with any other kind of rice because it is not sticky enough.

Yes, u can absolutely make any rice with this rice cooker. If you cook only white rice, just buy a plain rice cooker and it will do.

Hi: Instead of rolling the sushi by hand, you put the rice on both sides and the ingredients down the center. When you push this, it compacts the rice so that when you slice it the rice won't fall apart as it would if it was loosely compacted by hand.

Yes, this knife also works well for cutting sushi rolls. Be sure to clean thoroughly between cuts/rolls (with a rag).

I don't use this particular rice cooker, but a similar one. I cook oat groats (whole-grain oats) using the "porridge" setting. Works fine (1/3 c. groats, 1 c. water for one person). Steel cut would also work on that setting, I believe. Give it a go.

It's not ideal to cook rice and/ or sauté foods in this dish, as it is not non-stick. It is perfect however for Japanese Hot Pots ....... just don't forget to soak the dish first. Happy cooking �

These knives are sharp and I've been using them on everything pretty much: meat, veggies, fruits, fish... I do not know if they are specific sushi-knives, but I am sure you can use them for sushi.

Yes..the rice cooker makes the rice a bit sticky, and I like it that way. Just add a little more water then recommended, and make the rice a little moister. Hope this helps!
