Convert Sushi Rice from Tablespoon

Sushi Rice Measurement Converter

Use the tool below to convert sushi rice from Tablespoon to the measurement that you need.

A tablespoon here is the 15 ml metric standard, about 16.67 to a metric cup, the same size as a UK tablespoon. A US tablespoon is smaller at 14.79 ml, so US cooks measuring with US spoons need slightly more. An Australian tablespoon is larger at 20 ml, so it holds about a third more.

A little over or under won't ruin the bake, though it can nudge the final taste or colour.

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.
