This product gets good reviews from so-called sushi aficionados. I am a rice eater and had to endure the flavor. Or lack of it. I thought something was wrong with my loco moco when I took my first bite. I could not believe how bland it was. I was confused, at first, and thought maybe I was getting sick and my taste buds going bezerk. Put a bunch of hot sauce on it...to no avail. I finally realized that the rice sucked. It has none of the flavor found in the rice I typically use...and the rice which is typically used in Hawaii...by everyday rice eaters. Threw remainder away. Maybe it is the consistency of it that is appreciated by those who praise it, but that spot which is satisfied by the comfort eating of rice was missed by a mile. It was adequate as a product where rice is required and a certain, expected, flavor is not anticipated.
