"Mori No Kumasan" White Rice [熊本県産 森のくまさん] 2kg
Kumamoto Mori-No-Kumasan short-grain rice cooks up with firm grains and a hearty, fuller-bodied umami. Grown in Kumamoto Prefecture's volcanic soil with spring water from the Aso mountains, the rice picks up a bold, mineral-leaning character distinct from most northern varieties.
The grains hold their shape and concentration of flavor, making the variety a strong base for donburi rice bowls, simmered dishes, seasoned rice for sushi rice, and meals built around mountain vegetables. The name Mori-no-Kumasan, or forest bear, points to Kyushu's wild mountain landscape. Vacuum-sealed in a 2kg pack.
