Sticky rice is good for Japanese dishes. Basmati is nice and light...I like it too!

Jasmine rice is as good as Basmati, I think. If you go to an ethnic grocer, you can get 25 pound bags of Jasmine for less than $20. Buy a small bag and see if you like it. If the outside bag is burlap, the rice will taste like burlap, IMO, so make sure when you buy a big bag to get one with a white outside bag.

Wrong. All rice is rice,just as all tables are tables, all chairs are chairs and all water is water. As to flavor: each to their own taste, except for Uncle Ben. That should be thrown in the garbage with the left overs. I like the jasmine variety the most, the kind grown by the Thai and Vietnamese. It is now exported around the world. You'll know it when you taste it. As to basmati rice; it's not too popular with people who eat rice as the staple of their diet and who know their rice. Any rice monger will quickly point out the advantages and disadvantages of each variety and will not often stock it.
