Wadachi Koshihikari rice is grown and produced using environmentally friendly production methods, in what Niigata Prefecture calls ‘specific agriculture’: all fertilisers used are organic, while chemical pesticides and herbicides are kept to a minimum. Wadachi admires the way consumers in the European Union are made aware of organic production to the point that every supermarket has dedicated shelves, and seeks to make Japanese consumers aware in the same way. This rice is therefore the result of an approach that encompasses respect for the ecosystem, the search for the best taste and consumer safety.
About Wadachi
Located in the village of Shitada in the city of Sanjo (Niigata prefecture), Wadachi is committed to organic farming that takes advantage of the elements provided by the surrounding nature, such as the pure water flowing from the mountains, which is ideal for rice growing, or the thermal amplitude that favours photosynthesis of the rice plants, increasing their starch content. This constant concern for the environment and the quality of the products reaching the hands of consumers forces Wadachi to produce a limited but renowned and prized product.
