Is Japanese rice the same as sticky rice? What kind of rice is sushi rice? Is sushi rice the same as regular Japanese rice? It is not a surprise that there is a lot of confusion around types of rice and cooking rice.
Three Main Classifications of Rice
In general, the rice varieties can be classified into 3 groups: long-grain, medium-grain, and short-grain – based on their length-to-width ratio when cooked.
1. Long-grain rice
The grains of long-grain rice can be recognized immediately by its lengthy and cylindrical-shaped appearance. They are roughly 4-5 times as long as they are wide, and they are the most commonly used rice. When cooked, the rice stays fluffy yet firm, and the grains are separated and it is not sticky at all.
2. Medium-grain rice
Medium-grain rice is usually about 2-3 times longer than it is wide. When cooked, the grains are tender, moist, slightly chewy and they tend to stick together a bit.
3. Short-grain rice
Short-grain rice is short and plump, and is only a tiny bit longer than it is wide. The rice grains cling together without being mushy when properly cooked. The grains have a higher starch content than regular rice.
It is also common where medium-and short-grain rice get combined into the same category, which can make for some confusion. Most of the Japanese rice belongs to the short-grain variety, although you can find medium-grain of Japonica rice being grown in California.
Japanese rice has an average amylopectin content of between 80 to 84%, making it quite sticky. In contrast, non-sticky Indica rices have an average amylopectin content of about 65%.
