Premium Tottori Nita Koshihikari Rice "Nishi no Yokozuna" – 5kg, 3kg, 450g (3 Cups) - Kurumira Shop

A Treasure of Shimane – Experience the Exquisite Sweetness of Nita Rice

“Rich sweetness, a firm stickiness, and glossy white grains.”

Cultivated in the idyllic town of Okuizumo, Nita District, Shimane Prefecture, Nita Koshihikari rice is often compared to Niigata’s famed Uonuma rice, earning its reputation as "Western Yokozuna" among Japan’s finest rice varieties.

The secret to its exceptional taste lies in:

• Mineral-rich mountain spring water,
• Traditional soil preparation methods,
• A climate with sharp temperature differences between day and night.

This rice is renowned for its premium quality and has even graced prestigious occasions: in May 2000, it was served at a state banquet hosted by the Emperor of Japan at the Swiss Embassy. Furthermore, it has won the Gold Award for five consecutive years in the International Division of the Rice Taste Analysis Competition (2014).

Freshly cooked Nita Koshihikari offers a delightful aroma, fluffy texture, and a natural sweetness that melts in your mouth. Its luxurious flavor makes it an ideal choice for special celebrations, gifts for loved ones, or for those who value premium-quality rice in their daily meals.

Storage Recommendations

To preserve the fresh taste and quality of this premium rice:

1. Avoid storing rice in hot and humid places, as this accelerates oxidation, reducing its flavor. Rice grown with minimal pesticide use is particularly prone to mold and rice weevil.
2. Transfer the rice to an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator. If a dedicated container isn’t available, using a clean PET bottle is an excellent alternative for home storage.
3. Note that the shelf life may vary depending on storage conditions such as temperature and humidity. To enjoy the best flavor, we recommend consuming the rice within one month of purchase.
