Superior Grade Japanese Koshihikari Brown Rice 『 YUKINOHO 雪穂 』Specially Cultivated & Exclusive Harvest in Niigata Minamiuonuma - 11 lb
"The 'Special Cultivation Rice Minamiuonuma Koshihikari YUKINOHO' is a meticulously crafted rice by skilled producers belonging to the Minamiuonuma Organic Rice Association, accounting for only about 10% of the total Koshihikari production in the city. During the cultivation period, chemical fertilizers (nitrogen components) and synthetic pesticides are reduced by 50% compared to the Koshihikari commonly grown in the city, and it is cultivated with great care under strict management.
Mt. Hakkaisan, a revered mountain with steep inclines, stands uniquely amidst the Echigo mountain range at the prefectural boundary. The pure waters of the Uono River flow through the heart of the Uonuma Basin, imparting its snow-fed clarity.
This region, known for its heavy snowfall, is a testament to the harmonious coexistence of the bountiful natural surroundings and the diligent work of its farmers. This synergy has contributed to the high accolades bestowed upon the Koshihikari rice from Minamiuonuma.
The combination of nutrient-rich soil, pure snow meltwater from the Echigo Mountains, and the distinct climate of the basin has resulted in rice that is at the pinnacle of its quality. This is exemplified by the "Special A" rating, the highest designation for 23 consecutive years in the rice taste ranking conducted by the Japan Grain Inspection Association
Our commitment to providing the finest taste directly from the source is reflected in our partnership with "JA Uonuma Minami" for direct delivery from the production area.
