They had one variety but it was 16-grain. Is this called ju-rokukumai then? The price was expensive. There were 7 25-gram packets in the bag and the price was $11.99USD. Good grief. I can't wait until our next trip back to Kyoto to pick up some other brands to bring home, and I sure hope they are less expensive. I made my usual haiga rice in the donabe and added one packet to 2 gou of rice. It turned out perfectly. The flavor was subtle and beautiful all on its own. This morning I plucked a small amount of the leftover rice from the donabe while making breakfast. It was still great tasting and the texture was gorgeous. Call me a rice addict if you want. I must admit that no matter what, the rice is always better in Japan. Please promise me you will never stop appreciating how lucky you are to live there with such an abundance of incredible food, drink, and natural waters.
