Experience the authentic taste of Japan with Omi Rice (Koshihikari), a premium-quality rice grown in the rich natural environment of Shiga Prefecture. This rice is cultivated using pure, cold snowmelt water from the Azumi River, along with the region’s distinct temperature variations, which enhance its sweetness and texture.

At Yokoi Farm, we prioritize soil enrichment and sustainable farming practices, ensuring both high quality and exceptional flavor. Our commitment to environmentally friendly cultivation results in delicious, aromatic rice with a soft yet slightly chewy texture.

Rice Processing Options:

We can provide the rice in different milling levels:

• Brown Rice: Retains the outer layers for extra fiber and nutrients.
• Semi-Milled Rice: Partially polished to maintain a balance between nutrition and softness.
• White Rice (Fully Milled): The most common type, polished for a smooth texture and delicate taste.

About Pre-Washed Rice (Musenmai):

This rice is pre-washed (musenmai), meaning the outer bran layer has been removed, allowing you to cook it without the need for rinsing. However, we recommend briefly rinsing it once before cooking for the best results.

About Yokoi Farm – A Commitment to Safe and Trustworthy Farming

At Yokoi Farm, we are dedicated to producing safe, high-quality food while maintaining a direct connection with our customers.

Located in Adogawa, Takashima City, our farm specializes in growing premium rice and garlic. The farm was founded by a second-generation farmer who inherited his father’s passion for rice cultivation. Building on this legacy, he has refined farming techniques to produce top-quality rice that prioritizes both safety and flavor.

In 2012, Yokoi Farm expanded into organic garlic cultivation, successfully producing Hokkaido’s renowned "White Rokkaku" garlic. However, the journey was not easy—the farm faced challenges such as inconsistent sizes, low yields, and difficulty achieving the desired taste.

Through years of research, the farm harnessed the rich black volcanic soil of the Kohoku region—a soil type known for its exceptional nutrient content, especially for root vegetables. By incorporating carefully developed cow manure-based fertilizers and repurposing nutrient-rich rice bran from our rice production, we gradually improved soil conditions and crop quality.

Our commitment to organic farming led to a breakthrough: we discovered that natural fertilizers enhance the natural sweetness of crops, while reducing the risks of harmful residues in food. As a result, we now successfully cultivate 100% pesticide-free garlic, known for its large size and fruity richness.

At Yokoi Farm, we will continue our unwavering commitment to safety, transparency, and premium-quality agriculture, working closely with our customers to deliver the best farm-to-table experience.
