Reiwa 7 (2025) Harvest Mori no Kumasan Rice (Kosihikari x Hinohikari hybrid) 5kg

Introducing Mori no Kumasan (Forest Bear), a nickname for rice from Kumamoto Prefecture, the Forest Capital. This variety has been awarded the highest score in rice taste rankings, earning it the title of Number One in Japan.

Just like vegetables and fruits, rice varieties can differ significantly depending on the farmer and the paddy field.

■ Taste
The standard catchphrase is: It has a firm, chewy texture with strong stickiness, cooks up beautifully glossy, and excels in flavor and aroma. This is proof that it has inherited the excellent taste of Koshihikari and the strong stickiness of Hinohikari in a well-balanced manner.
Our Mori no Kumasan is further characterized by its intense sweetness and umami. Our regular customers in Kumamoto who eat Mori no Kumasan are surprised, asking, Why is this so much more delicious than the Mori no Kumasan sold in supermarkets?

■ Peace of Mind
[Organic fertilizer, reduced pesticides, zero herbicides] We do not go through JA or rice centers, so our rice is not mixed with other Kumasan. We also do not mix in old rice. It has been used for many years at local hot spring inns and is also delivered to kindergartens in Tokyo. We strive to provide peace of mind to our customers.

■ Rice Milling
