Experience the luxury of Yumepirika rice, the pride of Hokkaido. This exceptional rice variety is celebrated for its unique taste and texture, standing out as one of Japan's finest. Despite the challenges posed by Hokkaido's extreme cold, Yumepirika was perfected through dedicated research and breeding, making its nationwide debut in 2011.
Yumepirika rice is distinguished by its low amylose content, leading to a higher amylopectin percentage. This results in a stickier, chewier texture with a pronounced sweetness that remains delightful even when served cold. Its glossy, sparkling appearance and exceptional flavor profile have earned it the highest Special A grade from the Japanese Grain Inspection Association every year since its introduction.
The name "Yumepirika" combines the dreams of Hokkaido's people with the Ainu word for beautiful, "pirika," reflecting the essence of this exquisite rice. Initially met with production challenges and high demand, Yumepirika's popularity never waned, solidifying its status as a top contender in the rice market.
Ideal for pairing with richly flavored dishes like Sichuan water-cooked fish, mapo tofu, stews, or curries, Yumepirika's firm stickiness and robust sweetness make it a perfect dinner choice. For the best texture, reduce water by 1 tablespoon per cup of raw rice when cooking.
Indulge in the luxurious taste of Yumepirika rice and savor the sweetness and quality that have captivated rice connoisseurs nationwide.
