Niigata Koshihikari also referred to as Japonica Rice is without doubt the best sushi rice in the world. Niigata Prefecture, known for growing Japan’s most delicious rice, grows a variety of Koshihikari rice. Koshihikari means the light of the ancient country of Japan, “Koshi”, and it is said to be clear and transparent, so that the stickiness and luster last a long time when cooking the rice.

Niigata Prefecture in Japan boasts astounding natural beauty. Looking out over the Sea of Japan to the West and surrounded by majestic mountains on its other three sides, lush rice fields fan out over the region’s serene landscape. Niigata is known throughout Japan’s biggest harvest of rice, which is essential to Japanese cuisine. Koshihikari, Niigata’s most celebrated variety of rice, is famous throughout Japan for its taste.

Large variations in temperature between night and day, the fertile soil of the Echigo Plain, and the pristine melting snow that feeds into the rice paddies create a natural environment ideal for nurturing Niigata’s exquisite rice. Koshihikari in particular benefits from this environment as a resilient and savoury rice variety with a delicate sweetness all its own.

The Authentic Fermented Korean Condiment

Kimchi is a fermented condiment that originates from South Korea and can be likened to a German Sauerkraut, a South African Chakalaka or Indian Atchar. It is 100% naturally fermented and therefore contains zero refined sugar or vinegar and is teeming with billions of Gut Friendly Bacteria & Probiotics per tablespoon.

It has typical Asian flavours of Ginger, Garlic & Chillis which amplify the flavour of this product & bring you a condiment that is not only delicious but essential to the maintenance of good gut health. Our Kimchi is also 100% vegan which is the more ancient traditional version from the Buddhist monks who are still a huge part of Korean culture today.

This product requires special packaging in order to maintain cold temperature & therefore is only available via courier services.
