About this calculator

The gō (合) is a traditional Japanese volume unit, one-tenth of a shō, standardized at exactly 180.39 mL — and it's exactly the size printed on the measuring cup that ships with every Japanese rice cooker, which is why Japanese cooking still uses it instead of the metric cup.

Home cooks following Japanese recipes for rice, sake serving measures, or traditional dishes need to convert gō readings to millilitres (or to the US cup) when using Western measuring tools, since substituting a standard 236.588 mL US cup for a gō throws off rice-to-water ratios.
