Savor the taste of Toyama with this 5kg bag of single-origin Himi Honami Koshihikari rice. Grown exclusively in Himi City, Toyama Prefecture, this 100 percent pure Koshihikari earned a top grade rating for the Reiwa 7 harvest.
While Himi City is best known throughout Japan for its prized winter yellowtail, it is also earning a big reputation for its local rice, beef, and udon noodles. The secret behind this rice is Himi's ideal environment. Pure snowmelt water from the Tateyama mountain range flows into soft clay soil packed with minerals and organic matter. Large temperature differences between day and night allow the rice plants to ripen slowly, filling each grain with starch and flavor.
In objective taste evaluations, this Himi Koshihikari scored an impressive 98 out of 100 points. Koshihikari is Japan's most famous short-grain rice variety, beloved for its comforting sweetness and sticky texture. Serving a fresh bowl of Himi rice offers a genuine taste of Toyama's famous agricultural tradition.
