Sumidaya Premium Rice Gift Set

Most people know Tokyo's Sumida ward because it's the home of the sumo arena and the futuristic-looking Edo-Tokyo Museum. But there's more to this area east of the Sumida River and if you care to explore it, you'll find just a couple of blocks from the river one of Tokyo's rice specialists, Sumidaya, which produces top-quality rice, polished using traditional methods and blended by specially qualified Five-Star Rice Masters. The Sumidaya Premium Rice Gift Set is a great way to try for yourself what makes the shop's rice so extraordinary!

For those who know their rice, not all rice is good for all purposes: the rice that is to be cooked for regular meals has a special sweetness and a rich aroma, the one used for onigiri rice balls must be able to stay soft yet keep its graininess even when it gets colder, and the one used with vinegar (like in sushi) needs a particular elasticity. The Sumidaya Premium Rice Gift Set contains one pack of all three types, so you can try Japanese rice in whole new ways with this amazing sampler!
