Use short-or medium-grain rice. Its more starchy and round than the long-grain variety, which just wont hold together well enough to support ingredients in sushi. Many stores now sell specifically-labeled sushi rice. Some people prefer their sushi rice less seasoned and there might be differences in strength and flavor between various brands of rice vinegar. If its the first time you are making sushi rice, prepare the amount of seasoning described below, but only use half of it. Mix it with the rice and taste before deciding if you want to use the full amount.
