KOSHIHIKARI from NIIGATA-新潟魚沼 こしひかり 2025 Crop

'Uonuma Koshihikari' from Niigata

The mountainous climate, with large day–night temperature differences, helps preserve starch at night, enhancing the rice’s umami and flavour. During ripening, temperatures around 24°C—ideal for Koshihikari—lower amylose levels, resulting in a stickier texture. At Seida-san’s farm, high-quality rice is carefully selected based on years of expertise.

This is Japan’s premier brand of rice, having been awarded the ‘Special A’ rating in taste rankings for over 30 years.

The most distinctive feature of Uonuma Koshihikari is its superior taste. In particular, its chewy, springy texture and refined sweetness are exquisite, allowing you to fully appreciate the rice’s natural umami.
