"TSUYAHIME" from Yamagata which everyone wants to taste someday is relatively new.
She made her debut in 2008.
Speaking of the rice, actually It was "from Yamagata" for a long time.  To get that image back, TSUYAHIME was born due to the bleed improvement over and over again. 

The rice grain is bigger than others. Fluffy texture also glowing like a white silk after fleshly cooked. It said that Tsuyahime is higher than Koshihikari in the taste evaluation.    

Other rice has also sweetness and umami, but Tsuyahime does the unique stickiness and  chewy texture, that's why someone's into Tsuyahime.
