Japonica is a medium-grain rice that originated in Japan: slightly sticky, sweet and complex, and the classic choice for sushi and Japanese and Korean cooking. It is versatile enough for risotto, stir-fries, rice bowls or a simple side. Because Chico Rice mills in small batches, the rice you buy is fresh, which you can taste in the aroma and sweetness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTwo styles\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlonde Milled\u003c\/strong\u003e: Chico Rice's signature, milled in the Japanese haiga-mai style. The artisan milling gently removes only part of the bran, so you keep more of the grain's nutrition and nutty sweetness while it still cooks quickly and tastes like a premium white rice.
