Fresh-steamed rice

Ingredients

Rice　(as needed)
Water　(as needed)

Directions

1

Transfer the desired amount of rice to a bowl and add plenty of water.
2

Make a claw shape with your hand and run in through the rice to wash it, then drain the water. Repeat two or three times.
Note: Be careful not to scrub the rice too hard
3

Soak the rice to gelatinize the starch.
Note: Soaking time depends on the season and the time since the rice was harvested
4

Steam the rice in a clay pot or rice cooker.

Hint!

Once the Satoyama-no-Tsubu rice is cooked, it is known for its lovely appearance, with each grain plump and clearly defined. It has a firm texture with just the right amount of stickiness and a distinctively sweet taste.
Transfer the fresh-steamed rice to a rice bowl and enjoy, making sure to take in the wonderful aroma as you eat.
