Puffed rice

Pon Gashi: the art of puffed rice in Japan

Traditionally known as Pon Gashi, puffed rice is deeply rooted in Japanese culture. Since the early 1900s, it has been a staple at local festivities. Its name refers to the characteristic sound the grain makes when it pops under heat. Our plain puffed rice is notable for the uniformity of its grains and its delicate sweet notes, ideal for enhancing any recipe.
