Ancient Rice (Asuka Village)

Take a bite of rice dyed in shades of red and black. The chewy texture and fragrant aroma burst in your mouth. The ancient rice grown in Asuka Village includes traditional varieties such as red rice, black rice, and green rice. Red rice is a non-glutinous variety that offers a popping texture and a nutty flavor similar to brown rice when chewed. Black rice is a glutinous variety that turns a beautiful purple color when cooked, resulting in a soft and chewy texture. Simply mixing a little into white rice makes your meals much more colorful and texturally rich. Rice grown in the paddy fields of the ancient capital, Asuka, possesses an elegance that makes one feel the passage of eternal time. Your everyday meal becomes subtly colored and grows deeper in flavor with every bite. It is a simple, warm blessing from the ancient past.
