sushi rice


Explanation:
I would say it is simply sushi rice because sushi rice is the sticky type.
I have often bought sushi rice but never seen it labelled as sticky rice.
Could be wrong though.

sticky rice


Explanation:
This is a perfect (100%) translation, as it is a particular type of rice cooked a certain way and is used in making sushi rolls, but it is also the general type of rice eaten in most East Asian countries.

unconverted rice


Explanation:
The starch is not removed, so it sticks together. It may also be colloquially called "sticky rice", but I think "unconverted rice" is the correct term.

The reference (a sushi recipe) calls for "white unconverted rice" (as well as "sushi rice vinegar" (which apparently has some sugar added -- this may be the "Würzessig" which was questioned in another post).

Just checked a \"rice site\" (http://www.foodsubs.com/Rice.html), and they refer to it as \"glutinous rice\" (among many other designations, including \"sticky rice\").

agree  Beate Lutzebaeck: Yes, glutinous rice - this is how the "Sushi-making" community in NZ refers to this type of rice.

  -> "Glutinous rice" doesn't sound particularly tasty, though .
