The sushi rice can be crafted & tweaked to taste better – such as better mouthfeel & texture, better aroma, better flavoring or seasoning, better density ratio, better moisture level, better color or looks, better harmony pairing with different ingredients…etc. Koshihikari was first created in 1956 by combining 2 different strains of Nourin No.1 and Nourin No.22 at the Fukui Prefectural Agricultural Research Facility. It is one of the most highly grown varieties of rice in Japan [1] and is exported to other countries as a premium product. [2] Grown within the rich fertile soil and crystal clear waters of Northern California. “Fertile soil” bradduh.

Japanese short-grain rice is our staple food. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner, we eat all day, every day. As we noted in the previous section, rice breeders tend to use Koshihikari and select phenotypes, especially for good eating quality, that resemble it. This may explain the wide dissemination of Koshihikari’s genome, which suggests the low frequency of DNA polymorphisms among recent Japanese cultivars. However, information on the large number of SNPs obtained from the whole-genome sequence overcame this inefficiency of DNA marker development, and has accelerated the detection of agronomically important quantitative trait loci (QTLs).

It is easier if you make a cross on the surface of the rice and turn ¼ of the rice at a time to turn over and mix. When you store, the important point is to wrap the rice in cling wrap immediately, even if it's still hot.
