what is the date shows in the back of bag means?

the date printed in the back of rice mean the date they polished the rice. Its not expiration date

The bag states" keep under refrigeration". Really? I need to refrigerate this rice?

Our temperature in Seattle is cool so don’t see the need for that. I’ve never refrigerated any Japanese rice before & we live in Tokyo part time & I grew up in Japan. I’ve bought this rice 3 times already & I keep it in a large plastic container in the kitchen.

Do you sell unpolished rice of this quality so I may polish freshly for more flavor?

We are in the market of selling the best unpolished rice of this quality that we can find

How do you make this? I can't read the directions since they're in Japanese.

I make this the same way as any good quality sushi rice - 450 grams rice (rinse well & let it stand for 10 minutes afterwards) + 420 grams water in Zojirushi pressure rice cooker (NP-NWC10/18). This a super high quality sushi rice - don't cook it to the point of it being mush. During Covid lockdown I had a great omakase Chef come to the house to cook us dinner & he was so impressed w/ the quality of this rice.
