Export Premium Japanese Snow Crystal Rice from Kichoraku
We are excited to announce that Kichoraku’s high-end “Snow Crystal Rice” is now available for export. Thanks to full cooperation from the company, we can offer overseas businesses a route to import this exceptional rice.
What Is Snow Crystal Rice?
Kichoraku utilizes a unique Snow Crystal Rice method, combining snow cellar storage (Yukimuro) and snow-temperature milling.
- Snow Cellar Storage (Yukimuro)
The harvested brown rice is stored year-round in a snow cellar kept at or below 5 °C. This method helps preserve aroma, freshness, and flavor even after spring when rice typically loses its quality. - Snow-Temperature Milling
During milling, the equipment is cooled with snow to prevent condensation, oxidation, and heat generation. This reduces stress on the rice and helps maintain its intrinsic flavor. - Ice Temperature Ripening
Kichoraku also applies a method where rice rests at around −2 °C just before freezing, allowing enzymes to convert amino acids to sugars, enhancing sweetness, umami, and texture. - Fresh Rice Wrap Packaging
Once milled, rice is sealed in nitrogen-filled packaging (minimizing oxygen) to slow oxidation and quality loss. The packaging often includes resealable zippers, allowing a best-before date up to one year for export.
Thanks to these techniques, Kichoraku claims their rice can maintain “new-rice” quality throughout the year.
