Japanese Uonuma Yuki Tsubaki Koshihikari White Rice - 11 Pound / 5kg

Yuki Tsubaki, a special cultivation of Koshihikari from Uonuma region, has won the highest rating at Japan's largest rice contest for five consecutive years. This rare rice is grown by producers who spare no effort from soil preparation to drying and polishing, ensuring the best aroma, sweetness, texture, and shine for your enjoyment.

The quality of Yuki Tsubaki lies in its unique production process. The town of Tsunan in Niigata Prefecture receives heavy snowfall, providing mineral-rich snowmelt water that flows into streams like the renowned Ryugakubo. This water nourishes the terraced fields, laying the foundation for delicious rice cultivation.

Dedicated to soil enrichment, producers invest four times the usual expenses into soil preparation, starting immediately after the previous year's harvest. With the application of organic fertilizers such as compost, chicken manure, and silicic acid, the soil is enriched for the upcoming rice season.

Yuki Tsubaki represents the culmination of expertise and experience from award-winning rice masters at the International Contest on Rice Taste Evaluation. While Japan harvests approximately 3.2 million tons of Koshihikari annually, Yuki Tsubaki is an exceptional rarity, accounting for only 0.0007% of all Koshihikari and 0.003% of Uonuma-produced Koshihikari rice.

Cultivated solely by producer Kentaro Kuwahara in the same field without blending, Yuki Tsubaki is a safe and reliable choice for discerning consumers. Experience the excellence of this ultra-premium rice, imported from Japan in 11-pound packaging.
