The Akita Komochi rice, originated in Akita, Japan, was introduced to Songyuan by Bei Xian in 2005. With round shape and crystal appearance, the rice is rich in proteins, amino acids and many microelements necessary for human health such as Ca, Fe, Zn and Se, etc. The cooked rice tastes soft and smooth with pleasant fragrance and will not feel uncooked if eaten as cold food, all of which help it earn a fame of 〝Treasure of Rice.〞
