Tamaki Haiga Rice
$25.00

Grown in Williams, California, Tamaki is known for its Japanese short grain rice. Behold, haiga-mai, or germ rice, the love child of brown and white rice. This is the rice you'll find in both Yoko and Kayoko's pantry for its bright flavor with a slight nuttiness. Your palate and digestion will thank you!
Learn how easy it is to cook haiga-mai on the stove top!
In Yoko's 2010 Japanify blog post, she says:
[Haiga rice is] half-milled, so the bran layer is removed, but the germ (haiga) is intact. This allows for the plump texture of white rice but with a little "core" which is the germ.
Haiga-mai takes less time to cook than brown rice but must be washed 2 to 3 times with water, like white rice, before steaming. What's amazing about haiga-mai is that the taste is very similar to white rice, making it suitable for Japanese cooking, but far surpasses white rice in nutrition in terms of fiber, vitamin E and B, niacin and calcium.
