Sushi rice is a short-grain Japanese variety that becomes sticky when cooked, making it ideal for sushi rolls, onigiri, and rice bowls. One metric cup (250 ml) of uncooked sushi rice weighs 225 g (7.94 oz). Use this converter when a recipe calls for cups and you want to weigh the rice, or when scaling a dish up or down.

Sushi rice's round, compact grains pack more densely per cup than long-grain rice, so the same cup holds noticeably more grams. Weighing in grams keeps the rice-to-water ratio consistent and gives you the same sticky texture every time.

Are sushi rice and Japanese rice the same thing?

Recipes use the two names interchangeably, so you can follow either one without changing quantities or weighing any differently.
Is 1 cup of cooked sushi rice the same weight as 1 cup of dry sushi rice?
No. One cup of cooked sushi rice weighs about 200 g, while one cup of dry sushi rice weighs 225 g. They are different states: dry rice soaks up water and swells to roughly 3.11 times its volume as it cooks, so a single dry cup makes several cooked cups. Cooking changes the weight per cup, so the dry and cooked gram figures are not interchangeable. Use the cooked rice converter to switch between dry and cooked amounts. Open the cooked rice converter
