Yumepirika

Hokaido Yumepirika

Yumepirika is a relatively new type of rice developed specifically for the cooler Hokkaido region, where it has been the only one grown since 1997. Due to the lower content of amylose and higher content of amylopectin, it has a very unique texture and an incredible and amazing stickiness.  Many Japanese rank the quality and taste of Yumepirika on the same level as Uonuma Koshihikari. Yumepirika thus clearly belongs to the best types of Japanese rice.
