Omi Rice from Ritto
A soft, sweet steam rises from the freshly cooked rice. With every bite, you experience a chewy texture and a clean sweetness—this is the rice of Shiga, nurtured in Ritto. 'Omi Rice' is grown using the abundant water and fertile soil surrounding Lake Biwa. While Ritto City is famous as the center for horse racing training, it is also a vast rice-producing region with sprawling farmlands. Varieties such as Koshihikari are carefully cultivated within this warm climate. It is the kind of rice that satisfies you even without side dishes. Because it remains delicious even when cold, it is perfect for rice balls and lunch boxes. It is a daily feast provided by the rice fields of Ritto.
