Japonica - Premium Short-Grain Rice

Japonica is a different kind of rice altogether. Where most Vietnamese export varieties are long-grain, Japonica is short, round, and plump — with a naturally soft, slightly sticky texture and a subtly sweet flavour when cooked. It is the rice behind sushi, Japanese rice bowls, Korean kimbap, and a growing range of premium food products worldwide. For buyers serving markets where culinary authenticity matters, Japonica commands both loyalty and a significantly higher price point than standard white rice.
