TENKOMORI from Toyama-富山 てんこもり 2025 Crop

'TENKOMORI' from Toyama 

Taste ranking ~ special A rank~

Toyama Prefecture's Tenkomori is a highly regarded late-maturing variety that achieved a “Special A” rating in the 2025 taste ranking, possessing sweetness and stickiness equivalent to Koshihikari.
This branded rice features firm, glossy grains that remain delicious even when cold, and is characterised by its resistance to lodging and high yield.

At the foot of the Tateyama mountain range, the clear waters of the swift-flowing Kurobe River and the cool winds known as ‘arase’—which sweep down from the mountains—create a significant temperature difference between day and night during the rice-growing season, bringing out the rice’s rich flavour. At the farm of our rice farmer, Mr Yoneyama, they produce their own compost by mixing manure from neighbouring livestock farms with rice husks to cultivate healthy, robust rice plants.
