Uwa Rice (Milky Queen)
The Uwa Basin, often shrouded in morning mist, is known as one of the premier rice-growing regions in Ehime. The unique temperature differences between day and night characteristic of the basin, along with the pure waters from the upper reaches of the Hiji River, produce delicious, well-defined grains. Rice cultivation is so deeply rooted in the lives of the people in Uwa-cho that the area is home to the 'Uwa Rice Museum,' which features a relocated wooden school building from the early Showa era. The misty climate enhances the flavor of the rice, and rice farming has flourished here since ancient times as one of the prefecture's leading granary areas. Once cooked, Uwa rice is fluffy and sweet, and remains delicious even when cooled, making it perfect for rice balls (onigiri). Please enjoy a bowl of this hometown specialty, nurtured by the rice-growing heartland of Uwa.
