Akitakomachi rice, cultivated in the heart of Akita Prefecture, is a premium rice, quite close to Koshihikari.
It is very appreciated in Japan for its stickiness, its softness, its flavor.
It is a perfect rice for making sushi, onigiri or simply for consumption as it is with your dishes.

Akitakomachi is smaller in size and has a lighter taste than other rice varieties. The grains are bouncy and have a better bite than Koshihikari, and the rice has a nice shine to it after cooking. In common with all Japanese rice, it is delicious both freshly cooked and cold. It is named after Ono Komachi, who was born in Akita, and is a representative of the Prefecture.
