Founded in the 1930s as a food wholesaler, the company began polishing rice as part of its operations and gradually made it its core focus. In the 2000s, Kanegae built a state-of-the-art facility in Fukuoka, strengthening its commitment to delivering quality rice.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRice polishing may sound simple, but it is essential to preserving flavor, texture, and safety. Raw rice, known as “genmai” or brown rice, must be carefully stored for up to a year until the next harvest. Temperature and humidity are precisely controlled to prevent cracking while avoiding mold. Rice is also evaluated, selected, and even graded starting with farming and going through polishing to achieve the highest quality. Advanced polishing technologies, expert analysis, and refined packaging ensure consistency and high quality at every stage.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWorking closely with farmers all over Kyushu, Kanegae diligently completes this last stage to produce delicious Kyushu rice. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"shokuya-aso-shirakawa-koshihikari-rice","title":"Aso Shirakawa Koshihikari Rice","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis Koshihikari is grown in the cool highlands of Aso and nourished by the pure waters of Shirakawa Spring, selected as one of Japan’s 100 Best Waters.
