Origin Story
Takashi Takashi Imai
Gifu
'Ryu no Hitomi' from Gifu
In Higashikawa, Gifu, the rice is grown in the mountain valleys of Hida, watered by the pristine snowmelt of Mt. Ontake. Mr. Imai uses low-pesticide circular farming with organic fertiliser, nourishing rice of rare, authentic quality.
Discovered in 2000 among Koshihikari paddies in Gero City by Mr. Takashi Imai, the grain is 1.5× the size of standard rice. It has won multiple Grand Prix at the national rice taste competition, including consecutive Gold Prizes.
It boasts exceptional sweetness and deep, rich flavour with a distinctive large grain 1.5× the size of Koshihikari. Its glossy, chewy texture holds its quality even when cold. Grown with only 1/3 of standard pesticide levels using organic fertiliser, certified grain meets the strictest quality standards.
