Minami Uonuma Koshihikari:
It is said that the Koshihikari rice marketed as Uonuma produce is more than ten times the actual production, meaning most of it is counterfeit. Our establishment has worked directly with local farmers for many years to ensure we provide 100% authentic Minami Uonuma Koshihikari rice (produced in the Shiozawa Nishiyama area) in our meals and for sale in our shop. While the price may seem high, we proudly offer this genuine product at a great value, with prices starting from 1,200 yen per kilogram. Up to 30 kilograms is available for purchase.
