Why We Love It

Rice is the "everyday given" — so precisely because of that, differences emerge. Minoriya's goodness is the simple strength of in-house milling and direct shipping. Orders by 12:00 on business days are dispatched same day in principle — and when it hits well, the speed of next-day arrival is also reliable. Special feel of Uonuma Koshihikari, Niigata rice's grain standing, Yamagata's Tsuyahime and Yukiwakamaru, Hokkaido's Yumepirika — there's the fun of being able to choose "today let's do this." Since the delicious period after milling is said to be about 1 month, a store also compatible with the style of frequently choosing in eatable amounts.

Another core is the system of direct shipping from the in-house milling factory. The aroma, sweetness, and grain texture immediately after milling greatly influence the rice impression.
