Not even sure why rice is such a big deal to you. No one actually eating sushi cares about the rice. It's the least significant part of meal. If you're not eating quality fish the whole everything will taste like garbage. And who said putting rice in the cooker and being done with it is how people at home would make it.
rice is pretty important to the sushi connoisseur
it's not a deal maker to me, but that's what people say
"What sets Jiro's sushi apart from the rest? The big difference is the rice. In my opinion, a lot of sushi restaurants outside Japan – even the high-end ones – overlook the rice. Jiro's is a little more vinegary than we might be used to and served at body temperature. It is cooked at very high pressure, which allows it to be fluffy; but at the same time, each grain retains its shape. So when you eat it, you get this wonderful blend of fish and rice. Jiro has mastered it. It ends up tasting like something completely new."
