Hikari Rice (Firm Bite, Satisfying Chew) – 1kg

Hikari Rice is a Japanese short-grain rice known for its slightly firmer texture and satisfying chew compared to softer varieties. The plump grains cook evenly with light stickiness, allowing the rice to hold its structure while still remaining cohesive.
This balance makes it especially suitable for sushi, rice bowls, and traditional Japanese dishes where grain definition and bite are important.

Cooking Tip
After washing the rice, soak it in plenty of water for at least 1 hour before cooking for best results.

Storage & Handling
To ensure the best quality and safety of your rice, we recommend the following storage guidelines:

• Store in a cool, dry place: Keep rice in an airtight container away from moisture, heat, and direct sunlight. A pantry or refrigerator is suitable.
• Use sealed containers: Airtight or vacuum-sealed containers help prevent pests. Rice may also be stored in its original packaging if it is tightly sealed.
• Avoid high humidity: Humid conditions can encourage pests and mould growth. Ensure the storage area is well-ventilated and dry.
• Regular inspection: Check rice periodically for any signs of pests or unusual odours. If you notice anything unusual, the product can be exchanged within one month of purchase.
