We used to buy sinandomeng, super angelica, isabela, jollibee, boy kanin, long grain, etc. rice varieties with prices ranging from 52-59 pesos per kilo. Until we saw and got curious about this so-called Japanese Rice a.k.a Sakura Rice.
We were surprised to see that it only costs 48 pesos per kilo. We decided to buy two kilos just so we could give it a try.
Its grains are like "kisses" the scented ones we used to play, put on cotton pads, and take good care of when we were kids. (At naniniwala tayo na nanganganak sila!) hahaha
And so we did. Lo and behold, it's actually good. And when our little one loved its taste and texture, we finally switched to Japanese Rice. We cook it in our rice cooker, add a tablespoon of vinegar, and throw in some pandan leaves.
Try it now and see for yourself. Rush to the nearest market now. Share your Japanese Rice experience with us. Let us know in the comments. :) WATCH THIS VIDEO.
