Uonuma Koshihikari. 　Buy Japanese rice from Rice Direct and enjoy the unbeatable quality, delicate flavor, smooth texture and enticing aroma of Uonuma Koshihikari, widely considered the finest rice grown in Japan.   All our Koshihikari rice is grown in a traditional manner, in small paddy fields in the mountains of Uonuma in Niigata prefecture. Indigenously grown Uonuma Koshihikari alone benefits from Uonuma's unique climate. The heaviest winter snows in the world (over 4 meters) provide mineral rich ground water to nourish the rice during the steamy hot summer days and the relatively cool summer nights. This makes Uonuma Koshihikari Rice a unique ‘gift from heaven’.
