Niji no Kirameki Niigata Rice - 300g

We are proud to offer Niji no Kirameki rice made for us in Niigata prefecture, the prefecture in Japan most widely associated with having excellent rice. Niigata has been the center of rice making in Japan for centuries due to its fertile soils, large temperature gaps in the day, and quality of its water that comes from melting mountain caps. As there is a long history of rice making in Niigata, there is also an abundance of knowledge and wisdom in its farmers. 

Almost completely unavailable outside of Niigata, Niji no Kirameki is widely considered to be equally delicious as Koshihikari (the "royalty" of rice in Japan) in flavor, aroma and shininess. Each grain is well-defined and large, allowing for high satisfaction. It also pairs easily with rich foods, including non-Japanese cuisine.
