Tentang bahan ini
Premium Japanese rice cultivar (Koshihikari) cultivated in Niigata Prefecture under MAFF GI-protected designation. Niigata produces ~30% of Japan's Koshihikari by volume, with sub-regional brands (Uonuma, Iwafune, Sado) commanding premium pricing tiers. Distinguished by sticky, sweet, glossy cooked-rice texture and characteristic chewiness. Substantial export to Asian premium retail and increasingly fine-dining export. Distinct from existing 'mochigome' (glutinous rice) and 'premium-rice' trend entries.
