Glutinous rice shigahabutaemochi - Wakai Noen brand -
Ref : NISWNK12
In Kagami area, Ryuo city, Shiga Prefecture (which praises Lake Biwa), farmers have inherited, from generation to generation, a rich agricultural heritage that benefits from moutains pure spring water.
Our farmer, Yasunori WAKAI, represents the 16th generation (since 1613) of his family to grow rice in purest respect for tradition, on 32 hectares in Shiga Prefecture. Kiramizuki's rice has reached 5-star mastery level, highest level of mastery in Japan and the world.
This rice, grown by Wakai Noen since the early 2000s without use of pesticides, is known as the "king of sticky rice". "Shiga" refers to the Prefecture, "Habutae" is a silk fabric of the highest quality used to make kimonos and "Mochi gome » is glutinous rice.
Unlike other glutinous rices, it is immaculately white in color; so tender that it melts when boiled in ozoni (Japanese mochi soup). This rice is a favorite for high-end pastries in Japan. This is a great vintage of glutinous rice for connoisseurs.
