Exclusive Koshihikari Brown Rice from Niigata Minamiuonuma

The "Yukiho," a specially cultivated Koshihikari rice from Minamiuonuma, stands out for its exceptional quality. Compared to the Koshihikari grown in general, this rice has seen a remarkable reduction of over 50% in chemical fertilizers (nitrogen components) and more than 60% in chemical synthetic pesticides.

The "Minamiuonuma Koshihikari," a source of great pride for JA Minamiuonuma, is a 100% locally grown rice. This rice has been nurtured by the rich soil and the clear snowmeltwater flowing from the Echigo Mountains, resulting in a perfectly polished grain.

The Koshihikari, crafted with the pure and cold snowmelt water and the meticulous efforts of the local producers, harmonizes beautifully with the natural environment. These small, shiny grains boast a rich flavor, with the delicious taste condensed into each kernel.

Minamiuonuma, 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 the region.

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.

The combination of nutrient-rich soil, pure snow meltwater from the Echigo Mountains, and the distinct climate of the Uonuma 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.

To deliver the finest taste directly from the source, we have partnered with "JA Uonuma Minami" for direct delivery from the production area. This commitment to providing the best quality rice is reflected in the "Brown Koshihikari Rice" offering, where 100% Grown in Japan Minami-Uonuma Niigata rice is available in 5KG / 11 Pound X 1 Sack.
