Premium Brown Rice Hinohikari from Kumamoto, Japan

Nestled in the heart of Kumamoto Prefecture, the brand "Kyushu's Great Nature Shiraki" offers a testament to the blessings of the region's extraordinary natural landscape. Kumamoto, located in the central part of Kyushu, is renowned for its stunning natural wonders, including the towering Aso volcano, one of the world's largest calderas, and the captivating Amakusa islands.

The climate in Kumamoto is diverse, with the region's inland areas experiencing hot summers and cold winters, while the Amakusa region enjoys a relatively mild climate, with average temperatures ranging from 16°C to 18°C. This unique climate has fostered the thriving rice cultivation that has been passed down through generations, a heritage dating back over 2,000 years.

Kyushu's Great Nature Shiraki takes pride in offering two distinct varieties of brown rice, both of which have undergone meticulous processing to remove the stones, ensuring a more convenient and delightful eating experience. The first option, "Brown rice (no-wash rice)," allows you to enjoy the rice without the hassle of pre-washing, while the second, "Brown rice," provides the same nutritional benefits with the stones removed.

Regardless of the variety, both types of brown rice from Kyushu's Great Nature Shiraki boast an exceptional taste and texture that will amaze you. The brown rice can be prepared with the same soaking time as white rice, typically 1 to 2 hours, yet it retains its full nutritional content, making it a healthier and more convenient choice.

Customers have awarded these brown rice offerings an impressive 4.3 out of 5 stars, praising their exceptional quality and ease of preparation. Available in 11.0 lbs packages, the brown rice from Kyushu's Great Nature Shiraki is sourced from the Kikuchi River Basin in Kumamoto, a region recognized as a Japan Heritage site for its 2,000 years of continuous rice cultivation.

The brand's commitment to quality is further evidenced by the prestigious Gold Medal it has received in the International Rice Taste and Analysis Competition for its "HINOHIKARI" short-grain brown rice. Additionally, the unpolished rice is thoroughly inspected for residual pesticides and graded for exceptional quality.

To ensure the best possible experience, Kyushu's Great Nature Shiraki recommends storing the brown rice in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. With its rich heritage, superior taste, and uncompromised nutritional value, this brand's offerings stand as a true celebration of Kumamoto's bountiful natural resources.
