Toyama koshihikari has a unique flavor, slightly sweeter than other Japanese rice, with good stickiness. This makes it suitable for many Japanese dishes.<\/span><\/p>\n

By some, Koshihikari rice is considered the best variety of rice. Koshihikari is therefore the most popular variety in Japan. Koshihikari rice dominates the market with 30% of the total rice production in Japan.<\/span><\/p>\n

For sushi, however, we recommend Hokkaido Nanatsuboshi rice. On the other hand, you can certainly use Koshihikari rice for sushi, or for accompanying a delicious Japanese curry of course. For those looking for Koshihikari rice, this is the rice to use.<\/span><\/p>\n
