Just Perfect Rice

Korean rice, I personally think, has the best texture and taste. :)
It contains just right amount of moisture, so it's not too flying like kinds of rice from Southeast Asia, nor too sticky, but perfectly chewy. And it has very very subtle sweetness in it -which is almost unrecognizable- and this makes Korean rice so delicious. Rice is a essential food in Korean cuisine. None of menu will be completed without a bowl of rice. Sometimes a well-cooked rice bowl and kimchi only can be more than enough as one meal.

Right now, Korea is looking forward to harvest season. Countrysides are filled with greener than ever rice plants. The fields will be beautiful brown soon, and we will have a great harvesting season this year.
