✨西の横綱　仁多米
✨The King of Rice from West Japan: Nita Rice from Okuizumo

舞鶴キッチンでお出ししているお米は、島根県仁多郡奥出雲町で育まれた極上のブランド米「仁多米（にたまい）」です。

全国の米好きや料理人から「東の魚沼、西の仁多」と称され、“西の横綱”として高い評価を受ける仁多米。

🌾 澄んだ雪解け水と寒暖差が育む「極上の甘み」
奥出雲町は、周囲を豊かな山々に囲まれた寒冷な豪雪地帯です。中国山地から湧き出る清らかな雪解け水は、ミネラルをたっぷりと含みます。
「昼夜の激しい寒暖差」により、日中に作られた養分が夜の間にしっかりと米一粒一粒に凝縮され、強い甘みと豊かな旨みが蓄えられます。

炊き上がりの美しいツヤと、もっちりとした弾力のある粘り。
そして噛むほどに広がる上品な甘みです。
熱々の炊きたてはもちろんのこと、冷めても美味しさが損なわれないため、最後のひと口まで至福の味わいをお楽しみいただけます。

The rice served at Maizuru Kitchen is “Nita-mai,” a premium brand of rice grown in Okuizumo Town, Nita District, Shimane Prefecture.

Hailed by rice enthusiasts and chefs nationwide as “Uonuma in the East, Nita in the West,” Nita-mai is highly regarded as the “Yokozuna of the West.”

🌾 “Supreme Sweetness” Nurtured by Clear Snowmelt Water and Extreme Temperature Variations

Okuizumo Town is a cold, heavy-snow region surrounded by lush mountains. The pure snowmelt water that springs from the Chugoku Mountains is rich in minerals.
Thanks to the “sharp temperature fluctuations between day and night,” the nutrients produced during the day are thoroughly concentrated into each and every grain of rice overnight, storing intense sweetness and rich umami.

It boasts a beautiful sheen when cooked and a chewy, elastic texture.
And the more you chew, the more its refined sweetness unfolds.
Not only is it delicious when served piping hot, but its flavor remains intact even when cooled, allow
