Niji no Kirameki Japanese Rice from Ibaraki 5kg

Grown in the rich soil and warm climate of Ibaraki Prefecture, "Niji no Kirameki" is a rising-star variety that has been attracting rapid attention in recent years. True to its name — "Shimmering Rainbow" — its most striking qualities are the beautiful lustre it takes on when cooked and the rich flavour that unfolds with every bite. Pleasingly chewy with a firm, well-defined grain, a refined sweetness, and a deep, lingering umami, it performs brilliantly as the centrepiece of any dish — from a simple bowl of steamed rice to fried rice and beyond. Because the grain holds its shape well, it stays delicious even when cold, making it an excellent choice for packed lunches and onigiri. This product has been carefully selected and directly imported by the WASO team, including Head Chef Hideki Hiwatashi. The competitive price is made possible by WASO's direct sourcing — with absolutely no compromise on quality. A premium rice you can trust, every day, at every table.
