The moment you open the lid, warm steam gently rises.
As you scoop your first serving, you’ll feel its soft, perfectly chewy texture.

Grown in the rich natural surroundings of Minamiuonuma and nurtured in carefully prepared soil, this is rice crafted with care from the very beginning.

You’ve worked hard today.
Why not end your day with a comforting bowl of truly delicious Japanese rice?

Kirinoasa Steak Dressing.
One of my personal favorites.
Made with the natural sweetness and rich flavor of onions, balanced with just the right touch of acidity.
Perfect with steak, but just as delicious on salads and grilled vegetables.
A simple way to make everyday meals feel a little more special.
Give it a try.

My favorite rice is Tsuyahime, grown by Hyakusho Watanabe in Yamagata, Japan.
Known for its beautiful shine, delicate sweetness, and exceptional texture, Tsuyahime is one of Japan’s most celebrated rice varieties.
Grown with minimal pesticides and a deep respect for nature, every grain reflects the care and dedication of its producer.
Food tastes different when you know the people who grow it.
Watanabe-san, we hope to see you in San Francisco this year.
Proudly grown in Yamagata, Japan.
