米善About Komeyoshi
Grown for our families. Shared openly with yours.
Growing rice brings sunny days, rainy days, and muddy days. Some days our decisions bear fruit; others teach us what to improve next.
From planting and water management to harvest and milling, we share the work behind every bowl. Komeyoshi delivers more than rice — we deliver the people, fields, and growing story behind it.
We grow rice we want to feed our own families, and bring it straight to your table. That is Komeyoshi's promise, from Kawagoe.
Your best bowl, every day.
In the grower's words
How it began
Ever since I was a child, beyond my grandfather's back there were always rice paddies. Today I stand in the very fields he stood in. What I inherited was more than land — it was the work of growing rice you feed your own family.
This land, this variety
Our water runs straight from the Iruma River into the paddies. Saitama summers are brutal for rice. So we bet on Sai no Kizuna, a variety that thrives in that heat. There is a flavor only this land can produce.
It starts with my wife's 'oishii'
This is the rice my own family eats every day. Cooked slightly firm, it fills the kitchen with a sweet aroma. My wife's single word — oishii — is my quality standard. The same bowl goes straight to your table.
WHY KOMEYOSHI
Four reasons people choose Komeyoshi
Each one is possible only because it ships straight from our paddies in Kawagoe.

Sai no Kizuna is bred by Saitama Prefecture and grown only within it. We ship only what our own Kawagoe paddies produce.
02 Freshness
The aroma is different the moment you open the bag
Milled on shipping day, with the milling date printed on every bag. 5kg bags keep it fragrant to the last bowl.

What makes Komeyoshi different
Freshness
Milled after you order
We store rice as brown rice at low temperature and mill it only after you order, so it arrives freshly milled — with the milling date on every shipment.
Openness
We share how it grows
From planting to harvest and milling, every step is shared on Instagram. This is rice we feed our own families, so we never show only the pretty parts.

Kawagoe soil and water
In our Kawagoe paddies we raise seedlings from seed rice and plant them one by one — weeding through midsummer heat and adjusting water before typhoons, all by hand.

Two tastes to choose from
Chewy, balanced Sainokizuna and glossy, sweet Koshihikari — from the same Kawagoe soil, chosen to match your cooking.
Sunny days, muddy days — we share them all.
Every success and every lesson goes into the next harvest. See daily life in the paddies on Instagram.
