Blessed by sunny warm summer days, high snowfall in winter, abundant mineral-rich glacier water, Niigata is a kingdom of rice growing in Japan. Uonuma Koshihikari is extremely rare rice that comes from less than 0.003% of the Koshihikari rice grown in the Uonuma region in Niigata Prefecture. The soil used for the rice cultivation is treated with extreme care and the snowmelt is used to fill the rice field. In order to maintain the taste and texture of the rice, it is dried using humidified air before it is slowly polished ( with the speed three times slower than the normal process is) using the latest milling equipment so there is no heat applied during the polishing process.
