The origin of rice

Our rice is original Japanese rice that comes from the northern region of the main island of Honshu. Japan consists of the four main islands of Hokkaido, Honshu, Kyushu and Shikoku. The island of Honshu is the largest and most developed island in Japan. Although this island is the most developed, it is 80 percent mountainous and rich in quality fertile soil and an abundance of clean water. And its geographical conditions are ideal for growing high-quality, tasty, delicious rice. To grow high-quality tasty rice, a large amount of clean water, good drainage, fertile soil, large fluctuations between day and night temperature are all needed in this area.

How to properly store rice

Rice must not come into contact with water. It should be stored in a cool and dry place.

Rice absorbs the smell of fish and meat, so it should be stored away from such types of food.

It is ideal to store the rice in the refrigerator and prevent the rice from coming into contact with the air so that oxidation does not occur, which would reduce the quality of the rice.  

How to cook rice properly 

We recommend using a high-quality stainless pot with a lid that will prepare high-quality rice or alternatively a rice cooker,
which will make it much easier. For example, when cooking 150 grams of Japanese rice, we recommend using a 1 liter stainless pot.
When cooking 300 grams of rice, a 2 liter pot. And when cooking 450 grams of rice, a 3 liter pot. If you are using a rice cooker, cooking rice becomes much easier as you should just follow the instructions on the rice cooker.  

Procedure for cooking rice:

Step 1. 

Rinse the rice very lightly. Use a colander. Repeat three times. Wash really gently and easy for the first time. For the second and third time, rinse the rice in the same way, but be careful not to damage the rice. 

Step 2.

Once the rice is rinsed, place in the pot. There is exactly 180 ml of water for 150 grams of rice. Put 1.2 cups of water in the pot. We recommend using cold water to improve the sweetness, stickiness and taste even more.

Step 3. 

Do not cook the rice immediately, but let it sit for approximately 30 minutes so that the rice grains can soak up the water. This will make the rice sweeter and stickier. 

Step 4. 

Let it boil. Once it is boiling, let it boil for less then minute and then turn down to minimum or medium depending on the force of your stove.

Step 5. 

Let the rice cook for 10 minutes on a medium or low heat.

Step 6.

After 10 minutes of cooking, let the rice sit for approximately another 5-10 minutes. 

Step 7. 

Use a rice spoon and mix the rice so that the air gets inside. And rice is ready... enjoy please.
