Japonica White Rice

Japonica White Rice
Hakumai (white rice) generally refers to polished short-grain Japonica rice and has been a staple of the Japanese diet since ancient times. Forming part of the traditional Japanese meal combination along with miso soup and tsukemono, hakumai is a highly nutritious source of protein, fibre, vitamin B, calcium and iron. As well as being easier to digest than genmai, hakumai's glutinous texture means that it is easy to pick up with chopsticks and its mild taste makes it a perfect accompaniment to almost any food.

Okomesan
ITAL P.O. di Hajime Morimoto & C. s.a.s.

Today many kinds of rice are used in Italy, but until the 1950s short grain rice was the main variety grown. In 1980, Morimoto began researching why this rice differed from that grown in Japan. In 2002, a variety of rice perfectly suited Japanese cuisine was identified and trademarked as Okomesan. Japanese ricepolishing machines give Okomesan a delicious, just-polished flavour. Brown rice (Kogane) and mochigome rice (Mochicco) varieties are also available, and can be exported to all parts of Europe.
