Sushi Rice | Buy Sushi Rice Online UK

Sushi rice is the essential ingredient in Japanese cooking, and no homemade sushi, onigiri or rice bowl is complete without it. At Tuk Tuk Mart, we stock authentic sushi rice online from trusted Japanese brands, delivering the sticky, slightly glossy short-grain rice that forms the foundation of Japan's most iconic dishes.

True sushi rice is a specific variety of short-grain Japanese rice, prized for its high starch content and ability to hold together when rolled or shaped. Once cooked, it is seasoned with a mixture of rice vinegar, sugar and salt, which gives it the subtle sweet-sour flavour that balances the fish, vegetables and nori in a sushi roll.

Beyond sushi, this same rice is used for onigiri (Japanese rice balls), chirashi bowls, donburi rice bowls and many other Japanese dishes. It is also ideal for rice cookers and provides consistently excellent results with the absorption method.

When buying rice, it is worth investing in the right brand — the grain quality, moisture content and starch level all affect the final texture. Our selection includes well-regarded Japanese brands that professional sushi chefs and home cooks alike rely on.

Pair your sushi rice with our nori sheets, rice vinegar, sushi-grade soy sauce and wasabi for a complete sushi-making kit at home. Browse the full range and shop online with fast UK delivery from Tuk Tuk Mart.
