Glutinous rice shigahabutaemochi

This rice, grown by Wakai Noen since the early 2000s without use of pesticides, is known as the "king of sticky rice". "Shiga" refers to the Prefecture, "Habutae" is a silk fabric of the highest quality used to make kimonos and "Mochi gome » is glutinous rice.

Unlike other glutinous rices, it is immaculately white in color; so tender that it melts when boiled in ozoni (Japanese mochi soup). This rice is a favorite for high-end pastries in Japan. This is a great vintage of glutinous rice for connoisseurs.
