Japanese rice is short-grain rice. "Hakumai," Japanese white rice, is milled to remove the rice bran from the brown rice, known as "Genmai".

"Butsuki-mai" is partially milled rice, named after how much of the bran has been removed from the brown rice.

The nutritional value of bran is retained by adjusting the ratio of milled rice:

  • 30% milled rice: 30% of the bran has been removed.
  • 50% milled rice: 50% of the bran has been removed.
  • 70% milled rice: 70% of the bran has been removed.

How to Cook Brown Rice and Cooking Tips
Cooking tips and steps:

    1. Soak the rice longer than white rice, at least 2 hours.
    2. It allows to soak more moisture and maximize flavor.
