Well, as I'm waiting for my nikujaga to cook down, I was thinking about different brands of rice. I know a lot of people say that they can't tell the difference between different brands of rices and that people who claim that some brands of rice are better than others are just plain foolish.
Take me, for example. I really believe, or at least I think, Tamaki is better than any other brand of rice I've used. I've used Kokuho Rose, Nishiki, and Tamaki.
So, do you think it's all in my head that Tamaki is better than the other two, or do you think it's possible for one brand of rice to be better than the other? Do you prefer one brand of rice over the other?
While I was living in California, I ate mostly calrose rice. It tasted fine to me and I thought the hype about Japanese rice being better was just propaganda. However, one day, a neighbor gave me a riceball (onigiri) made with expensive Japanese rice. I could tell the difference right away! It was sweeter and sort of plumper (is that a word?). I then understood why Japanese prefer their own kind of rice. It's not just PR.
That said, I would buy the way cheaper calrose rice, if it were available in Japan now.
