Details
Grown in the rich soil and warm climate of Ibaraki Prefecture, "Niji no Kirameki" — "Shimmering Rainbow" — is a rising-star variety that has been attracting rapid attention in Japan in recent years. 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, onigiri, 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. The 2kg bag is a practical size for smaller households or for those trying the variety for the first time. A premium rice you can trust, every day, at every table. If the product is vacuum-sealed, the seal may come undone due to impact during shipping. The package design may also differ, but the contents and quality are identical.
