An essential pillar of Japanese gastronomy and culture, rice occupies a very special place in the lives of the Japanese. Emblem of local culture, rice used in various occasions such as Tanabata and other matsuri, or at weddings during "san-san-kudo", where sake is shared between the bride and groom. Historically, it was a currency during feudal times, symbolizing wealth and power.
Each grain tells a story of varied textures, distinctive flavors and unique nutritional riches, shaped by the diverse terroirs where it is grown. Throughout the ages, rice has played multiple roles in Japanese society, ranging from a staple food to a sacred ingredient in ceremonies.
We are proud to introduce Niigata's prestigious Koshihikari to our range, a gastronomic treasure celebrated for its rich taste and springy texture. This exceptional rice is the result of careful cultivation, irrigated by nutrient-rich water from melting snow. The significant thermal variations between the sowing and harvest periods contribute to its incomparable aromatic profile, highly sought after throughout Japan.
