Bestseller! Northern Limit Koshihikari (Specially Cultivated Rice) 2024 Harvest

This is the same rice as the Japanese restaurant "Shunju Tamachi Sanno" in front of the National Diet Building.

　In 1953, it is the original variety (Koshinan No. 17) from the time of Koshihikari's birth, produced at the northernmost limit of Koshihikari!

　Specially cultivated rice with over 50% reduction in pesticides and no chemical fertilizers (compared to Akita Prefecture cultivation standards).

　This rice is different from general cultivated rice from the seedling stage, which corresponds to early childhood.

　Elite seedling cultivation is conducted in independent seedbeds like vegetables to ensure strong root growth to withstand diseases and climate change. (The photo shows the difference between pot/mat seedling cultivation)

　Moreover, through "charcoal soil cultivation," which mixes homemade organic fertilizer and purification charcoal, it grows into mature rice with clean and diverse nutritional value.

　The rice grains are densely packed with a heavy feel, and the extra-large grains are plump and very healthy.

　In fact, Niigata Koshihikari is accurately a subspecies called "Koshihikari BL," which is very similar to the original and was improved in 2005.

　The northern limit of Koshihikari is a lineage of the original variety = Koshinan No. 17, developed at the Fukui Agricultural Experiment Station during the most difficult time in Japan's history in 1944.

 Please note that rice bags vary in type and weight. If you choose the "commercial use transparent bag" for 8kg & 10kg, you can get a slight discount!
