Sushi Rice

Cimino Family
Forgetting all the reasons and variations of Sushi Rice, we all have come to enjoy great sushi that allows the flavor of the sushi rather than the rice itself. Let's face it, we want to taste the Sushi not the rice. But good rice for sushi is absolutely a requirement. We prefer to dine at our favorite sushi restaurant but when we do make it ourselves, this recipe has never failed.
