Isame Rice

This is the Isame rice that is even hailed as the 'most delicious rice' in Kagoshima. Isa City is a basin surrounded by mountains on all four sides. It experiences such large temperature differences between day and night—sometimes changing by nearly twenty degrees during the harvest season—that it is often called the 'Hokkaido of Kagoshima.' This significant temperature fluctuation, combined with the pure waters of the Kirishima mountain range, nurtel grains that are fluffy and sweet. The main variety, Hinohikari, is renowned for being delicious both freshly cooked and even when cooled, with a glossy finish that stimulates the appetite. It makes you realize that a single bowl of rice can be such a feast. Its chewy sweetness acts as a perfect supporting actor that enhances any side dish. Please enjoy this pride of Isa—rice polished by the nature of the basin—at your dining table every day.
