Akitakomachi is one of Japan's best-known premium rice varieties.
After World War II, Japan faced severe food shortages and launched an ambitious plan to transform Hachirogata in Akita, (then Japan's second-largest lake), into fertile rice fields.
With Dutch engineering expertise, the vast lake was transformed over nearly 20 years into one of Japan's largest rice-growing areas.
Our Akitakomachi is grown on this unique reclaimed land in Ogata Village, Akita Prefecture! Fertile soil, abundant water, fresh breezes, and warm summer sunshine create rice with exceptional flavor and quality.
Carefully cultivated using rice bran organic fertilizer, Akitakomachi is known for its natural sweetness, delicate aroma, and pleasantly chewy texture. It stays glossy and delicious even when cold, making it perfect for everyday meals, sushi, lunch boxes, and onigiri.
Pre-washed for convenience, simply add water and cook.
A special Japanese rice grown on land that symbolizes the friendship between Japan and the Netherlands.
