Try the Japanese markets first. Nijiya, Mitsuwa, Marukai

Pro tip:

Get a real rice cooker (Panasonic) and real rice (Nishiki) and use the right rice-water ratio of 1:1.25

Be sure to rinse the rice to wash off any arsenic dust. (Same is true for other rices and grains)

It’s 1:1 +20g or whatever for typical evaporation in your cooker. If you make more rice you shouldn’t scale the 20g portion.
