Collection: Products from Fukushima Prefecture

Fukushima, located in the northeast of the island of Honshu, is famous for its rice production, considered to be one of the best in Japan. Thanks to ideal climatic conditions and pure water flowing down from the mountains, the varieties grown here, such as Koshihikari, offer a soft texture and slightly sweet flavor that make it a staple of Japanese cuisine.

The prefecture is recognized as one of the country's finest terroirs for the production of sake (nihonshu), regularly winning prizes in national competitions. This success is based on the combination of high-quality rice and crystal-clear spring water, as well as the expertise of local brewers, who perpetuate traditional techniques while innovating.

As for fruit, Fukushima is renowned for its juicy, sweet peaches, which are among the tastiest in Japan. Cultivated with care, they are very popular in summer, and can also be found in jams, juices and desserts. The region also produces excellent nashi apples and pears, which are highly prized for their crispness and freshness.

Finally, Fukushima is also known for its fermented products such as miso and tsukemono (pickled vegetables), which benefit from the region's ideal climate to develop deep, complex aromas. These products are must-haves in Japanese grocery stores, adding an incomparable richness of flavor to traditional dishes.
