Akita Komachi rice is an authentic, shiny, and aromatic white rice, considered one of the highest quality and sought-after rice varieties in the world. It is not exposed to any stage of pesticide application and does not require washing thanks to a unique sterilization process it undergoes. It is nutritionally balanced and highly valued, ideal for making sushi, chirashi, accompanying curry dishes, poke, and more.
The premium rice is characterized by its aroma, fragrant taste, and firm yet pleasant texture. It is rich in nutrients, protein, fiber, minerals, and vitamins, and is considered healthier than other rice varieties available in the market. It has lower calorie content and is particularly nourishing, which is why it is very popular in its country of origin, Japan.
Original Akita Komachi rice, grown in the Akita prefecture, is the most nourishing and highest quality rice, with one of the main reasons being the growing conditions related to the quality of the soil and water in this prefecture.
Beyond its rich taste, it also saves valuable time as it does not require pre-cooking preparation, so both the institutional market and home chefs can benefit from this advantage and enjoy culinary excellence. The product is imported to the private and institutional market in Israel through the food import company KITAKATA, the official representative in Israel of the rice division of the Japanese food giant.
The recommended consumer price for a 2kg package is 78 shekels. Available in select stores throughout the country.
