"Clay Pot White Rice" is one of our signature dishes. Each grain of rice stands upright, shining with a pure white luster. The moderately sticky and chewy texture, along with the sweetness and aroma packed into the white rice, makes even the rising steam a delicacy. Please savor it with all your senses. Sourced from Sanada Farm, a contract farmer in Niigata Myoko Yashiro Rice. This premium rice is cultivated with great care in the heavy snowfall area of Niigata, specifically in the Yashiro River basin of Myoko City.
