【The Earth's Treasure, the Pinnacle of Stickiness】 The golden rice cakes produced by "Yukawa Rice" nourish the heart.

Located in the center of the Aizu Basin, "Yukawa Village" is renowned as a rice-producing area. The "Yukawa Rice" harvested here is truly the pride of Fukushima, born from fertile soil, pure water, and the tireless efforts of farmers. The luxurious rice cakes made from this top-quality rice exude an overwhelming presence that you can taste in just one bite.

■ Amazingly elastic, with a clear "sweetness of rice"

The biggest feature of the rice cakes made with Yukawa Rice is their extraordinary stickiness and the rich sweetness that bursts forth with every bite.

  • Pure white art: The finely kneaded texture of the rice cake shines like a pearl. With minimal preservatives, the rice cakes that utilize the inherent power of the rice are fragrant when grilled and smooth as they melt when boiled.
  • Traditional "pounding" technique: The firmness created by carefully steaming and vigorously pounding. It embodies the joy of celebration that was once served at festive occasions in rural villages.

■ Enjoying the rich landscape: "A moment of bliss"

Yukawa's rice cakes have been loved as a strong source of energy to get through the harsh winters of Aizu.

  • Diverse enjoyment: In addition to the classic soy sauce and sweet red bean paste, enjoy them with Aizu's unique "jinenjo" and "natto". Because the ingredients are of high quality, they harmonize with any accompaniment and enhance their flavors.

The scenery of Yukawa, where golden rice ears sway, is condensed into a single rice cake. Would you like to fully enjoy the "true flavor of rice" that our ancestors have preserved?
