Ancient Rice
When cooked mixed with white rice, this ancient rice dyes the grains a beautiful purple. It is an interesting type of rice that offers a chewy texture and a unique, savory aroma. This ancient rice is a specialty product of Tagajo City. During the Nara period, Tagajo Castle flourished as a political, cultural, and military center of ancient Tohoku. Wooden tablets inscribed with "Kuroshomai" (black pounded rice) were excavated from the Special Historic Site of the Tagajo Castle ruins, telling the story of how rice was collected and distributed even back then. Purple black rice is rich in anthocyanins, a type of polyphenol, attracting attention for its beauty and health benefits. It is a flavorful rice that allows you to experience history and health in a single grain, passed down from the ancient capital to the present day.
