Japan takes pride in its rice, for good reason too. Whenever anyone visits Japan, they rave about the high quality of the rice they eat while they're here. The fantastic texture, the great flavor, the fact that the rice is clearly sourced from a small town, or a small farm, where quality produce is key. Japanese rice truly is special.
Unfortunately, it's not so easy to find quality organic Japanese rice outside of Japan. This Koshihikari rice comes from JAS certified organic small and medium sized farms in the natural paradise of the Tamba region, where the mountain air, crystal clear water, and nutrient-rich roil come together to create a wonderful environment for growing natural produce.
This form of Koshihikari is genmai, or brown rice, while it's not always common to see brown rice served in Japanese restaurants, it is becoming more popular recently as it has higher amounts of fiber, B vitamins, magnesium, potassium and iron than white rice. This whole grain rice only has the outer hull removed, with the inner bran and germ layer remaining, increasing its nutritional value.
This Koshihikari rice is prepared in a unique way to ensure that only the freshest rice is delivered all year round. While most farmers harvest and husk rice in the fall, the farms in Tamba store their rice within the husks, and only remove the husks when they're ready to be packed and shipped.
This time-consuming process ensures that this organic Japanese rice maintains its quality in its natural form.
