Niida Rice
It is the kind of rice that brings an involuntary smile to your face the moment it finishes cooking. The area around the former Kubokawa in Shimanto Town was once known as 'Niida-go,' a prosperous rice-producing region. Its reputation as a producer of high-quality rice dates back long ago, even appearing in the patrol records of Yamauchi Kazutoyo, the first lord of the Tosa Domain. The Konan Plateau, situated at 230 meters above sea level, is nourished by the clear streams of the Shimanto River. From summer to autumn, frequent mist and significant temperature fluctuations between day and night bring out the sweetness of the rice. The main variety, 'Nikomaru,' features large grains that cook up plump and fluffy; it is a high-performer that has consecutively achieved the highest 'Special A' rank in taste rankings for many years. With just one bite, the rich flavor nurtured by the clear streams gently spreads across your palate.
