Costco has basically 5 main rice outside of "regional small batch."


-Homai, Calrose
-Kokuho, Calrose


It's Calrose, Medium Sticky, you can use it for sushi, generally good eats, well balanced.


-Kirkland, Thai Jasmine


It's Jasmine, Medium-Low Sticky, starchier than Calrose, tougher, most people like this with an Oily Gravy to go on top.


-Royal, Basmati

This is basically India Jasmine, batch-to-batch often less sticky than Thai Jasmine, it's chalky more often than not, Gravy required.


-Kirkland, Long Grain

This is 'Murica rice, uncle Ben stuff, Non-Sticky, very chalky, tough, must eat these BUTTERED or Slathered with something gooey.
