It’s 2023. Nishiki is still good and has flavor. Maybe you cooked it wrong.

Have you ever been unable to find it?—this year we have not, and we’re looking for anything close to it.

Hi Katherine – are you referring to black sesame seeds?

Hi, which black seed do you use on the rice when serving?

Hi Erica! Thank you for reading this post and trying Nami’s recipe!
If you followed Nami’s step-by-step instructions but still have a problem, we recommend checking your rice cooker first. If there is an inner lid, maybe it was not correctly installed after you cleaned it.
Also, recommend using a fine-mesh sieve to drain and shake off any excess water. Otherwise, rice will come out too soft.

Hi, I switched to the tamanishiki brand this time based on your recommendation in this article. However, even with soaking for 30 min before, the rice cooker no longer cooks the rice properly even though it worked with the nishiki rice I was using earlier. Any idea why this might be? I’m using the Aroma brand rice cooker from Target.

In reply to Rod N. Hi Rod! Sure, you can freeze it, but if you are saving it to precook Daikon later, instead of using the saved water, you can also add 1~2 Tablespoon of uncooked rice to the pot and cook the Daikon. You can get the same benefit from that too. We hope this helps!
