Omi Rice
The freshly cooked grains glisten with a beautiful luster, releasing sweet-scented steam. With a single bite, you experience a chewy texture and a clean, delicate sweetness—this is the Omi rice that Shiga is proud of. Omi rice is a general term for rice produced in Shiga Prefecture, grown using the waters of Lake Biwa and fertile soil. It includes various varieties such as Koshihikari, Kinuhikari, and the Shiga-native 'Mizukagami.' A key feature is the focus on environmentally conscious farming, which reduces the use of pesticides and chemical fertilizers to protect the waters of Lake Biwa. Not only does it perfectly complement side dishes, but its deliciousness makes it a treat all on its own. Every bowl, grown with care for the soil and water, embodies the spirit of Shiga's life and nature.
