Niigata Koshihikari Rice

Japanese rice is like no other. In Japan, rice excellence is said to be found or discovered in Niigata region. Since the late 1950s, koshihikari rice has become emblematic of Japan's Niigata Prefecture.

Its cultivation has become predominant for its gustatory and aromatic qualities. Koshihikari rice is a type of short-grain rice with a mild flavor and sticky texture, different from other types of rice. It is carefully processed to preserve its flavor and nutrients, making it a premium rice, more expensive than other types.

Koshihikari's sweetness and stickiness, its brightness, fragrance and pronounced umami make it a rice of excellence. It is highly prized for making sushi, or as an edible rice for breakfast or other daily meals. Niigata origin is a guarantee of quality recognized throughout Japan.
