Tamaki Haiga rice is fully milled, yet it retains its own rice germ. Haiga ("rice germ" in Japanese) rice is a semi-transparent beige in color, and it tastes and cooks similarly to regular Japanese white rice - but it maintains many of the natural vitamins and other nutrients lost in processing white rice. Rice germ contains Vitamin B1, B2, B6, and E as well as fiber.

Preparation Prepare Tamaki Haiga rice as you would white rice - unlike brown rice, it takes only a few minutes longer to cook. Once you taste it, you may never eat fully milled white rice again.

About the Producer Williams Rice Milling Company produces the Tamaki brand of rices in the heart of the California rice farming community, in northern California's Sacramento valley. Established in 1988, this small mill is dedicated solely to the production of premium quality rice.

Farmers in Japan deeply respect the ebb and flow of nature. The folks at Williams Rice have combined traditional farming principles with modern technology to achieve rice of consistent quality and superior taste. Their millers carefully select and refine Tamaki Rice using the latest in equipment and most advanced techniques.

To guarantee that the very best rice is delivered to you, Williams maintains control over every phase of rice production, from growing through packaging. All of their growers are carefully chosen, and the rice fields are inspected from pre-planting through harvest. Their quality control department not only checks the rice for grade and appearance, but also for cooking characteristics and taste before packaging.

Tamaki HAIGA is made from the "Koshihikari" strain of rice, which is considered to be the premier strain of commercially cultivated short grain rice - there are over 300 different strains grown in Japan.
