This 100% organic, caffeine-free “coffee” is made entirely from organic Isehikari brown rice that is carefully roasted in Nagano Prefecture to produce a robust flavor similar to espresso with the aroma and richness of brown rice.
Isehikari is a relatively new variety of rice discovered in the rice fields of the Gods at Ise Jingu Shrine in 1989. This precious rice is named “Rice of God” as it was the only cultivar of Koshihikari rice to survive a typhoon (it can withstand wind speeds exceeding 50m/s). Koshihikari, which is a soft, chewy, and extremely sticky short-grain rice, is the most widely grown and consumed rice in Japan.
JAT originally introduced traditional foods used as offerings to Shinto deities. Through their TOMO brand, they now convey the culture of Japanese offerings while spreading Japanese gastronomic culture throughout the world. Their organic brown rice “coffee” has passed the strict and stringent requirements to be certified organic by Japan Agricultural Standards (JAS).
