Japanese rice
There are many types of Japanese rice. We are pleased to help you find the rice that suits you.
Milky Queen
Rather chewy
Milky Queen is a relatively new type of rice, created by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries' new rice development project.
It has a chewy texture similar to glutinous rice and is so sweet that you don't need any side dishes.
It is also needed tips on how to cook. The trick is to cook the rice with 10% or 15% less water than usual.
Of course, the chewy type represented by Koshihikari that everyone knows well. Japanese rice is really delicious.
Akita Komachi
Well balanced
Akitakomachi is perfect for those who like well-balanced taste and texture. It has a good balance of sweetness, stickiness, and softness, and is characterized by its mild taste.
Akitakomachi, which can be said to be the best of other varieties, is perfect for those who are unsure of which rice to choose. With its versatile texture and flavor, it goes well with any kind of dish.
The beauty of the freshly cooked luster will increase your appetite, and cold rice also attract you, too.
