TOKYO: Japan’s Kanmeimai rice, produced by the Toyo Rice Corporation, has earned the Guinness World Record for being the most expensive rice in the world, priced at $109 per kilogram.
This artisanal variety is a premium selection of hand-picked rice, renowned for its exceptional quality and unique preparation process.
Kanmeimai rice is crafted from five award-winning Japanese rice varieties, each carefully selected for its flavor and nutritional value. The rice undergoes a six-month infusion process using Toyo Rice Corporation’s proprietary buffing technology, which enhances its taste and nutritional profile. This intricate process removes only the inedible wax layer, leaving behind grains that shine like small diamonds.
One of the standout features of Kanmeimai is its rich nutty flavor, which sets it apart from traditional rice varieties. In addition to its taste, it is also touted as being more nutritious than conventional rice, offering a unique culinary experience.
Kanmeimai is a reflection of Japan’s commitment to quality and precision, combining tradition with cutting-edge technology to create a product that stands as a global symbol of premium rice.
