How to cook Japanese rice?

[gluki69@yahoo.com]

I often eat at Japanese restaurants, and they make very good-tasting rice. However, when I try to make it at home, it comes out tasting horribly.
What is the special recipe that they use.
P.S. I've tried many of the recipes online, however those tend to offer the same thing with a little variation here and there, and it never comes out the same way. Please help!

you need to buy a rice cooker from the asian supermarket
then put one cup of rice in it
and then put one cup of cold water on it
close the lid
and let it cook.

You buy Japanese rice, then you cook them in a rice cooker.
