Thanks so much! Let me know if you are down our way Valencia/Alicante and we can meet for lunch or dinner!

The irony is that some extremely good Japanese rice is grown in Spain.

It's called Minori and is the Akita Komachi type - alas it's not easy to find. Here's a link to the producers

It's available online here:

If you like haiga mai (rice where the bran has been partly removed) then I'd recommend the Balilla x Solana rice from the Calsparra region that is labelled "semi integral". You just need to prepare and cook it as if it were haiga mai.
