Features of Sushi Rice（酢飯・冷凍）
-
Shari King
- Using sushi rice, born and raised in Akita Prefecture, and of the Tsubuzoroi variety
- We use rice crafted by a stubborn old man born in Akita, who is dedicated to creating the utmost deliciousness
- We use a seasoned vinegar crafted to complement the characteristics of Tsubuzoroi rice
- After mixing with seasoned vinegar, the rice is rapidly frozen to lock in the flavor.
- Easy! Reproduce the freshly made taste in about 2 minutes and 30 seconds in the microwave (for a 10-pack). Just place your sushi toppings and gently press the sides of the rice to create sushi that tastes like it was made by a professional chef. Recommended for restaurants offering sushi buffets or lunch sushi sets!

Commitment to Deliciousness
- Delicious rice starts with the cultivation of the soil in the fields!
-
Every year, we enrich the soil with a generous amount of organic fertilizer in the rice fields. Since the farmer also runs a cattle farm, there is an ample supply of organic fertilizer.
- Safe and secure
-
By using a large amount of organic fertilizer, we use only a small amount of pesticides and chemical fertilizers. Chemical fertilizers are used at less than 20% of the usual amount, and pesticides at less than 40%. This ensures delicious rice is harvested in the fall.
- Harsh temperature variations and free-growing rice cultivation
-
At the foot of Mount Chokai in Akita Prefecture, we use mineral-rich spring water flowing from the mountains to plant rice seedlings with a wider spacing than usual, allowing them to grow vigorously.
The temperature difference between the cold nights and hot days, along with careful water management throughout the year, enhances the flavor of the rice. - "Sushi Vinegar" for Perfecting the Best Sushi Rice
-
To create the best-tasting sushi rice, we spent a year and a half in trial and error to perfect a sushi vinegar that matches our "stubborn old man" recipe.
We adjust the vinegar according to the season and temperature to achieve the best flavor.
