Iga Rice
The Iga Basin is surrounded by mountains on all four sides. This land, characterized by large temperature differences between day and night, provides the perfect stage for growing delicious rice. The soil of the basin, said to have once been the bottom of the ancient Lake Biwa, is a mineral-rich clay. While cultivation requires significant effort, it results in rice with robust stickiness and umami. The pure waters that serve as the headwaters of the Yodo River system have also nourished these rice paddies. Iga Koshikari, known for its excellent luster and aroma, has repeatedly earned the highest 'Special A' rating in the Japan Grain Inspection Association's flavor rankings. It is a prideful grain where sweetness expands with every chew. Please enjoy it freshly cooked. When made into an onigiri (rice ball), it remains sweet even after cooling. We invite you to take a single bite and experience the true power of rice nurtured by the basin.
