🍣 Elevate Your Plate with Authentic Japanese Rice!
Product description Shinmei Sanchi Gensen. We pay attention to the soil and the rice, and raise it with high quality water and lots of love. The expansive and fertile Sendai Plain, nourished by the rich flow of rivers from the Ou Mountains that stretch across the western part of Miyagi Prefecture. During the summer, it is blessed with ample sunlight but does not experience extreme high temperatures, and with moderate temperature differences between day and night, rice plants mature slowly and steadily, resulting in delicious rice. Miyagi's Hitomebore inherits the characteristics of its parent, Koshihikari, with a well-balanced combination of stickiness, luster, flavor, sweetness, and aroma, making it an all-round rice that pairs well with various dishes. Specially cultivated rice is rice grown with less than 50% of the usual amount of pesticides and chemical fertilizers used in conventional agriculture, and is properly managed. It is delicious rice that is safe and secure for both people and the environment. Shinmei Sanchi Gensen Hitomebore is rice cultivated in Miyagi Prefecture with minimal use of pesticides and chemical fertilizers, prioritizing safety and reliability while being considerate of the environment and human health. Consumers are encouraged to contribute to environmental conservation by choosing to purchase and consume this rice. Through a collaborative effort between producers and consumers, the aim is to promote environmental sustainability in rice production.

Real Thing!
Real traditional Japanese short-grain rice. So different from US short-grain rice. Absolutely delicious.

As good as Koshi-Hikari
I usually order Koshi-hikari rice from Japan because I find the rice grown in America or elsewhere just isn't quite as good somehow. At one point I could not find any reasonably priced Koshi-hikari grown in Japan on Amazon, so I decided to give this Hitome-bore strain a try. I think it's just as good as Koshi-hikari, maybe even a little fluffier, though the difference is subtle. Anyway, don't feel limited to Koshi-hikari when there are other good strains out there.

Finally found the real deal! (From a Japanese local)
I grew up in Japan and have tried many "Japanese-style" rice brands in the US, but this Hitomebore from Miyagi is on a different level. The texture is perfect—slightly sweet and just the right amount of stickiness. It even tastes amazing when cold, which is the ultimate test for good rice (perfect for onigiri/rice balls!). It honestly makes me feel like I’m back home. It's a bit pricier than some other brands, but for this quality, it’s absolutely worth it. If you want authentic Japanese rice, this is the one.

Great taste and consistency
Great product . We love the rice. It is consistently made. The taste is great and we eat it at almost every meal. It is very sticky but not so sticky that it makes a great side dish. It is truly from Japan . This is our second time purchasing it and will keep doing so.

High quality rice.
This rice is really high-quality. It's very hard for me to get quality Japanese rice where I live and this served us great used to all summer. Also would say that it pairs really well in terms of hydration in accordance with my rice cookers measurement guide (Zojirushi)
