Before I left on my journey, dear friends gave me a bag of Koshihikari rice which they brought back from Japan last year. The rice has accompanied on my journey over the past 16 months and I'm just getting around to eating it:) I typically eat white rice with sushi and making sushi and rice in the Airstream was not something I tried so it sat in my pantry all this time.
Finally tried it this week and despite the long-term storage conditions, it is delicious; the best white rice I've eaten. I didn't know much about it but Koshihikari rice is a very popular variety of rice cultivated in Japan (as well as the US). Evidently it is very popular in Japan due in part to its appearance; I believe it is also very expensive.
The rice comes in this cute little bag, complete with tie to keep the bag closed.
