Yuki Tsubaki Koshihikari Rice 5kg

Simply put, this is the world's finest Koshihikari rice. It is as close to perfection as you could hope for. Yuki Tsubaki rice is used by many of Japan's Michelin starred chefs and is gaining fame in New York and now Canada. Use it for an interesting take on European rice dishes such as risotto or paella, or for Japanese inspired applications such as chazuke, onigiri and kamameshi. And of course, it is amazing as sushi rice. 

Yuki Tsubaki Koshihikari rice is cultivated in the Uonuma region in Niigata prefecture, an area where there is heavy snow. In spring, the snow melts and the water, now rich in minerals, is known throughout Japan for its high quality. It is with this high-quality water that Yuki Tsubaki grows their rice. 

The rice is carefully grown, with only 0.003% of it being harvested, making it exceptionally rare. The soil used to grow Yuki Tsubaki is prepared using four times the standard cost and manpower and the polishing process takes three times longer compared with other white rice. 

The quality of Yuki Tsubaki Rice can be seen immediately on opening the bag. The grains are uniform, beautifully polished and unbroken. With cooking, the grains maintain a soft fluffy texture and the flavour is clean and fresh.
