Mikohara Rice
Once cooked, each grain stands glossy and plump, spreading a chewy sweetness with every bite—Mikohara Rice is a nutrient-rich Koshihikari produced by the terraced paddies nestled in the mountains of Hakui. It grows in terraced fields at altitudes of 120 to 400 meters in the Mikohara district of Hakui City. Due to the significant temperature difference between day and night and being nourished by pure mountain spring water, the rice develops a rich flavor. Yields are lower than those from flatlands, making the available supply extremely limited. In 2005, its name became widely known after being presented to the Pope, attracting national attention as a successful example of regional revitalization that revitalized a village struggling with depopulation. It is a proud bowl of rice nurtured by a small mountain village.
