How to Cook Kotashima Sweet Rice:
Rinse the rice thoroughly 3–4 times until water runs mostly clear. Soak in cold water for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results. Drain well. Steam in a bamboo steamer or rice cooker for 30–40 minutes until tender and sticky. For mochi, pound the cooked rice while hot until smooth and elastic. Sweet rice requires steaming rather than boiling for the proper texture.

Perfect For:
Homemade mochi, sekihan (red bean rice), ohagi (sweet rice balls), rice cakes, Asian dumplings, sticky rice desserts, and traditional Japanese celebrations. Whether you're making mochi for New Year's or creating authentic Japanese sweets, Kotashima Sweet Rice delivers the quality and consistency that traditional recipes demand.
