Heirloom Kokuho Rose Rice is a premium, medium-grain Japanese-style rice produced by Koda Farms, the oldest family-owned rice farm in California, established in 1928. This variety was developed in the 1950s to meet the growing demand for high-quality Japanese rice in the United States.

Over the decades, Kokuho Rose has become a symbol of authentic flavor, reliability, and traditional craftsmanship. Kokuho Rose is known for its creamy texture, mildly sweet flavor, and delicate aroma. Its grains become slightly sticky when cooked, making it ideal for preparing sushi, stir-fry dishes, risottos, and other meals that require rice capable of absorbing flavors beautifully. This rice variety is the result of careful crossbreeding between Japanese short-grain and Syrian long-grain rice, creating a unique balance of taste and texture.

Grown exclusively in California, Kokuho Rose is cultivated using traditional farming and milling methods that preserve its authenticity and exceptional quality.
