While most genmaicha use cheap imported rice, this tea shines with the flavour of Japan’s most popular rice cultivar: Koshihikari. While the tea is grown in Murakami, the rice was grown only a few miles away in Iwafune. Blending tea and rice grown in the same region creates a pure and unique expression of its soil and culture.

Surprised!
I didn't think that I would notice and was surprised by how much the use of locally grown rice in this genmaicha made a difference in its taste. Terroir takes on a new meaning.
