Akita Komachi Rice
Fragrant with a delicate and beautiful tenacity. Great freshly cooked, but also does not lose its deliciousness when cooled. Recommended for lunch boxes and rice balls.

ensuring quality
Akita Rice Fields
The Akita Prefecture, with its ideal location and weather, is known across Japan to produce the country’s best rice. Each grain of rice comes from the over 20.6 hectares of rice fields Makoto-Ya has in the region.
our milling process
We carry out our rice milling process in four steps, with careful supervision and hygiene assurance in each step to ensure quality is not compromised.
Our employees perform these steps whilst donning Personal Protective Equipment such as hair nets, gloves, shoe covers and disposable gowns, as well as entering air shower rooms to remove all residual particles.
Dehusking
Polishing
Filtering and Screening
Packing
Step 1: Dehusking
The unprocessed brown rice is dehusked, resulting in a complete separation of the rice husk and rice grains.
Step 2: Polishing
The rice grains are put through the polishing machine, and is polished down to a certain ratio, retaining its sweet taste and aroma.
Step 3: Filtering and Screening
The polished rice is then put through a colour filtering machine multiple times, where each individual grain of rice is screened to ensure its quality – rice grains which are not 100% cleanly-polished will be disposed of.
Step 4: Packing
The polished grains are securely sealed in packages to preserve the freshness and quality of the rice, ensuring the highest quality of rice for our customers.
