Rice from the Village of Fireflies
When you open the lid after cooking, the white grains glisten with a glossy sheen, and sweet steam rises—this is Omi rice, grown in the village of fireflies in Moriyama. Moriyama City is known as a place where Genji fireflies, which prefer pure watersides, dance. It is only through clean water and abundant nature that both fireflies and rice can thrive. Blessed with the water and soil of Shiga surrounding Lake Biwa, Omi rice has long been loved for its excellent balance of stickiness and sweetness. With a single bite, you experience a chewy texture and a clean sweetness. It is a feast all on its own, even without side dishes. Since the flavor remains excellent even when cold, it is perfect for rice balls and lunch boxes. This is a gentle meal nurtured by the village of fireflies.
