Yes - white jasmine - try to get stuff from Thailand - easily available. White Japanese. I have been also trying some partially milled Japanese rices; I really like them, but they're a little tougher to find, a bit more expensive, well worth it.
This California Haiga is partially milled, so has the benefits of brown rice, without the annoying old hippie, health-food store aspect. I really an amazed at its texture and flavor, but I can't vouch for the IP methods; I use my rice cooker. Remember to wash, drain and not use too much water - very close to even amounts of rice and water.
QuoteHaiga-mai rice, on the other hand, undergoes a special milling process that removes the bran but not the germ, giving it the fast cooking time, tender texture, and easy digestibility of white rice while retaining the nutritious germ of brown rice. Also called semi-polished or half-milled rice, haiga-mai is the best of both rice worlds!
