Regular Japanese Rice

Uruchi-mai (うるち米)

In Japan, there are two main types of rice: "Uruchi mai," the regular Japanese rice that is the most widely grown and consumed, and "Mochi rice," a sticky variety used to make mochi rice cakes.

Rice is well-known as an energy-boosting food. Unpolished brown rice, known as genmai, has had its husk removed while retaining the bran and germ. This makes it richer in vitamins and fiber compared to white rice.
