Additional information

Description

Koshihikari (コシヒカリ, literally “the light of Koshi,” where Koshi was a Japanese province facing the Sea of Japan and Hikari means “light,” referring to the translucent appearance of the grain) is one of the most famous and appreciated rice cultivars in Japan. It’s renowned for its small, round grains with an elastic and slightly sticky texture.

Among all varieties, Yume Nishiki (夢にしき, “colorful dream”) is considered the most prized and important. This is thanks to its sweet flavor and hint of hazelnut that make it perfect for every recipe.

This rice, grown in Italy under the supervision of Japanese professionals and with traditional cultivation methods, offers the same quality and authenticity as the original product. In fact, it’s the premium rice par excellence and is ideal for preparing traditional Japanese dishes with a touch of excellence. It absorbs water beautifully and maintains a rich fragrance after boiling. Additionally, it doesn’t harden with heat and preserves its organoleptic properties.
