Koshihikari Rice
California Premium Short Grain
“Koshihikari” literally means “Light of Koshi.” It is named for its smoothness and translucence. Select Kagayaki is prized for its sweet and subtle flavor, tender texture, and glossy appearance when cooked — ideal for sushi, onigiri, and rice bowls.
Grown in the heart of the Sacramento Valley, California, using methods that imitate traditional Japanese farming with GPS-guided precision seeding. Harvested under ideal humidity for consistent high quality, then dried and stored in controlled warehouse conditions.
The innovative Kapika rice milling process polishes grains without water or brushes, resulting in more polished rice that is better in taste and texture, requiring only light rinsing before cooking.
