147252


The excellence of Japanese rice for precision gastronomy. Koshihikari rice, selected by Kuriya Rice, comes from Niigata Prefecture, Japan's most prestigious region for rice cultivation. This iconic variety is recognised by chefs worldwide for its perfect balance: a short grain with a pearly white hue, exceptional shine after cooking and a subtle natural sweetness. Carefully polished in the Kagawa region, this premium rice stands out for its unique texture, firm to the bite yet incomparably soft, guaranteeing an authentic taste experience. Professional uses, preparation and storage: ► Culinary applications: A true benchmark for precision Japanese cuisine, Koshihikari is indispensable for making sushi, sashimi and onigiri thanks to its excellent hold and natural stickiness. As a table rice, it elegantly accompanies stews, grilled fish or premium meats (such as Wagyu). Its ability to retain its softness even when cooled also makes it a first-rate choice for bento boxes and high-end catering. ► Preparation: For best results, rinse the rice three times in cold water until the water runs clear. A 30-minute rest period before cooking is essential to allow the grains to rehydrate evenly. When cooking, use a ratio of 1 part rice to 1.1 parts water. ► Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from light. Seal the bag tightly after each use to preserve the freshness and organoleptic properties of the grains. This product has a long shelf life, making it ideal for hassle-free stock management.
