Japanese genmai rice
Japanese genmai rice is brown rice retaining its bran and germ, commonly rinsed and soaked before cooking for a chewy, pronounced grain texture.
About Japanese genmai rice
Japanese genmai rice is brown rice: rice grains with the bran layer and germ retained after removal of the inedible outer husk. Genmai describes a milling state, not a particular rice variety, and the grains may be short- or medium-grain types grown or sold for Japanese cooking.
The uncooked grains are tan and firmer than polished white rice. When cooked, they remain pleasantly chewy and have a more pronounced grain and bran flavour. Genmai is commonly rinsed and cooked with additional water or soaking compared with white rice; packaged forms may be whole grain or partially milled.
