美味しいお米とは単一農家と精米日で決まります。

アメリカでも日本産米がオンラインや食料品店で簡単に購入できるようになりました。しかし一般に流通されているお米は、技術と経験が異なる農家から買い集めたものを袋詰めで販売されているため、袋によって味や食感に違いが生じます。

お米は生鮮品。精米した時から酸化が始まります。美味しい新鮮なお米は精米日がとても重要。アメリカで販売されている日本産米は、日本で数ヶ月～1年以上前に精米されたものです。

私たちのこだわりは単一農家と精米日。江戸時代から400年以上続く農家、山形県庄内平野のサンエイファームから直接玄米を仕入れています。生産者がわかる安全・安心のお米で、温度を徹底管理し玄米を眠らせて保管しています。注文後、ワシントン州内で精米し新鮮なお米をお届けします。

山形県産最高級米「つや姫」「雪若丸」「はえぬき」「有機栽培米はえぬき」「山形No.95」の五つの銘柄をぜひご賞味ください。

The secret to delicious rice is determined by a farmer’s skills and the rice polishing date.

Even in the United States, Japanese-grown rice is now readily available online and
at grocery stores. However, the rice that is generally distributed here is purchased from many farmers with different techniques and experience, all mixed together and sold in bags, so the taste and texture will differ depending on the bag. 

Fresh rice is best! Oxidation starts when the rice is polished. The rice polishing date is very important for delicious fresh rice. Much of the Japanese-grown rice sold in the United States was milled in Japan several months to a year or more ago by large wholesalers.

We purchase brown rice directly from Sanei Farm on the Shonai Plain located in Yamagata
Prefecture. Sanei Farm has a history of over 400 years, since the Edo period. They produce rice that is healthy and safe. Once harvested the rice is stored in temperature-controlled
warehouses, before being shipped to our warehouse in Kent, WA. We only mill
rice after we have received your order, guaranteeing delicious rice every time.

We are pleased to offer five varieties of Yamagata's finest rice:
"Tsuyahime", "Yukiwakamaru", "Haenuki" and "Organic farmed rice Haenuki" and "Yamagata No.95". These varieties are hard to find even in Japan.
