Yuki Tsubaki Koshihikari is an exceptionally rare rice grown in the snow country of Uonuma, Niigata — widely regarded as Japan’s finest rice region.

Produced in extremely limited quantities, this rice is cultivated using mineral rich glacier water and traditional soil preparation methods that prioritise flavour over yield. After harvest, the grains are carefully dried and slowly polished at a reduced speed to preserve their natural character and sheen.

The result is uniform, glossy rice with a gentle fragrance, natural sweetness, and a soft, slightly springy texture. Designed to be the centre of the meal, it pairs best with simple accompaniments that allow the flavour of the rice to stand on its own.

Dubbed the ‘rice that chefs choose’, this rice is best prepared in a rice cooker or heavy pot and served with grilled fish, vegetables, miso based dishes, or pickles.

When the rice is this good, the rest of the meal can stay simple.
