Naturally grown (JAS organic) Nagano Sasashigure

Sasashigure is a rare variety that is produced by very few farmers and is not available at general retail stores.

This exceptional rice is carefully grown at Tawaraya's own farm, The Rice Farm, using natural cultivation methods without pesticides or fertilizers. The grains are large, but have a light texture and a soft, sweet flavor. It has a wonderful aroma after cooking and is delicious even when cooled, earning it the nickname "the Lady of Rice." It's recommended for use with plain rice, fried rice, rice bowls, mixed rice, sushi rolls, and more. Certified organic by the JAS.

<A word from the owner of Tawaraya>
"Ultimately healthy rice" Natural cultivation is the ultimate farming method that fully utilizes the power of nature, and only a few farmers in Japan practice it. Rice grown in harsh environments without pesticides or fertilizers is packed with the powerful flavor of rice itself. Sasashigure , grown on abandoned farmland in Nagano Prefecture, is top-class in both taste and aroma. Enjoy its special flavor, which is different from other brands.
