Ibaraki Koshihikari Brown Rice 2kg

Ibaraki Prefecture's Koshihikari is grown in one of Japan's most productive agricultural regions, where rich flatland soil and abundant water sources produce rice with the variety's characteristic sweet, well-rounded flavour. This brown rice (genmai) version retains the bran layer that is removed in white rice milling, leaving a grain with a nuttier, more complex flavour and a satisfying chew that white rice does not offer. Brown rice takes a little more water and time to cook than white rice — soaking for a few hours beforehand makes a noticeable difference — but the result is a deeply flavoured, substantial bowl that pairs well with Japanese pickles, miso soup and simple grilled dishes. A practical 2kg bag for anyone who prefers the texture and fuller taste of unpolished rice in their everyday cooking.
