Rice (nonglutinous rice) in Japan is richer ratio of amylopectins than the Indica rice in foreign country, and This Japanese rice consists in 80% amylopectin and about 20% amylose.

The ideal balance of this amylopectin and amylose decide its quality of rice.  One of the most delectable rice in Japan is Koshihikari, which consists of the 17~19% amylose and 81~83% amylopectin so the content balance is ideal.

　Ratio of amylose
The principal ingredient of rice is starch. Starch consists of the two components which are amylose and amylopectin . Rice (nonglutinous rice) in Japan is richer ratio of amylopectins than the Indica rice in foreign country, and This Japanese rice consists in 80% amylopectin and about 20% amylose. The ideal balance of this amylopectin and amylose decide its quality of rice. One of the most delectable rice in Japan is Koshihikari, which consists of the 17~19% amylose and 81~83% amylopectin so the content balance is ideal.
