Kikuchi Rice (Shichijo Rice)

A subtle, sweet aroma rises the moment it is freshly cooked. With one bite, a rich sweetness spreads through the chewy grains. Shichijo Rice is grown primarily in Shichijo Town, Kikuchi City, Kumamoto Prefecture, within the Kikuchi River basin. It is a high-performing variety that has consistently earned the highest 'Special A' rank in the Japan Grain Inspection Association's taste rankings for many years. The abundant spring water from the Aso underground flows, fertile land, and the temperature difference between day and night nurture rice that is both fragrant and sweet. It is a blessing of Kikuchi, known as 'delicious rice' since the Edo period. This is a brand rice of Higo, renowned for remaining delicious even after cooling. Please experience its true quality with a freshly cooked bowl.
