Japan’s Premier Niigata Rice Promotion
Elevate Your Everyday Meals with Premium Rice!
Niigata Prefecture is known as Japan’s premier rice-producing region, boasting the highest rice cultivation area and harvest yields in the country. The “Japan’s Premier Niigata Rice Promotion” is an event where you can see, taste, and choose Niigata rice for yourself. We invite you to visit participating stores during the event period to taste the difference.
Niigata’s rich natural environment, the fertile soil brought by the Shinano and Agano Rivers, and the distinct temperature variations create rice with superior grain quality, sweetness, and aroma. This promotion introduces the deep appeal of Niigata rice through in-store tastings and online sales.

◯ Koshibuki
Characterized by a glossy appearance when cooked and a light, clean flavor. Its versatility makes it excellent for blending, earning it popularity not only for households but also in professional culinary settings.

◯ Mizuho no Kagayaki
Developed as a new superior variety following Niigata’s representative “Koshihikari.” It features large grains with a fluffy and chewy (mochi-mochi) texture.
