Miyazaki Prefecture Gokasecho Specialty and Souvenir: Four Hundred Million Years of Earth Gion Spring Water Rice

<Taste>
Each grain is firm and flavorful yet refreshingly light. It pairs well with any side dish and stays delicious even when cold, making it ideal for rice balls and boxed lunches.

<Cultivation Commitment>
This rice is grown on terraced paddies irrigated only with the mineral-rich spring water known as Myoken Shinsui, one of the Heisei-era Top 100 Famous Waters.

<Regional Characteristics>
Located along the Kyushu Backbone Mountain Range at elevations of 600–650 meters, the area’s large temperature swings concentrate the rice’s flavor. The region is also known for heavy snowfall in winter.
