Experience the pinnacle of Japanese rice cultivation with Authentic Minamiuonuma Koshihikari, a luxury sushi rice prized for its unmatched texture, aroma, and flavor. Grown in the pristine mountain valleys of Niigata Prefecture — where pure snowmelt waters and mineral-rich soil create ideal conditions. This heritage grain embodies the spirit of Japanese culinary excellence.

With a taste ranking in 2021 of special A rank and produced in Minami uonuma city, Niigata, Japan by the Minamiuonuma Okubo Farm
Rice from Minamiuonuma is said to be Koshihikari, which is evaluated as delicious and has the highest peak.

Each glossy, pearly grain cooks to perfection: soft yet resilient, with a natural sweetness and gentle stickiness that define true Koshihikari. Revered by sushi masters and fine-dining chefs, this rice elevates both traditional and modern dishes, from delicate nigiri to seasonal rice bowls.

Beautiful in appearance, large grains and clear whiteness. Rising, soft and fresh fragrance. Moderate chewiness, tingling, and deep sweetness that fills the mouth.

To enjoy the finest Japanese rice
Step 1: Measure:   Level off the rice in a cup and move to a deep bowl.
Step 2: Rinsing the rice quickly: Ensure that you pour out the first water quickly in order to remove the rice bran and dust from the rice’s surface.
Step 3: Washing the rice: Gently wash the rice while stirring it by hand with the water drained.  Repeat this about two to three times until the water is clear.
Step 4: Presoak the rice: Soak in water for at least 30 minutes to allow the rice to absorb the water (the rice will taste better if you do this step)
Step 5: Cooking the rice: If you have a rice cooker, please turn it on.  If not use a pot instead, use the following steps.
1) Generally rice is cooked at a 1:1 ratio of 1 cup of rice to 1 cup of water. Measure and add to a pot
2) Put a lid on the pot and start cooking it over medium heat.
3) After it begins to boil, keep boiling it for two minutes.
4) Lower the heat a little and boil it for three additional minutes.
5) Turn the heat to low and boil it for an additional five to seven minutes.
6) Turn off the heat, leaving the lid on,  and allow the rice to steam for 5 to 10 minutes
7) Stir the rice from the bottom of the pot upwards. This allows the rice to cold air, let’s some vapor from the rice’s surface.
8) if using for Sushi or a Poké Bowl.. season the rice with Rice Vinegar and enjoy
