We visited the Yochi restaurant located in Harima-cho, Chuo-ku, Hamamatsu City, Shizuoka Prefecture. It is situated 1.9 km from Tenryū River Station.
【Yochi’s Three Special Features】
Commitment to rice flavor: The taste of rice varies depending on the climate of that year. Yochi takes great care in tasting the rice, ensuring that its moisture content, aroma, and appearance are perfect. They change the way they mill the rice to maximize sweetness and luster.
Commitment to freshly milled rice: Rice becomes a fresh food from the moment it is milled. The restaurant mills the rice upon receiving orders and ships it on the same day or the next day. The rice is milled in a factory maintained at 15°C to prevent oxidation and preserve its freshness.
Commitment to honest rice: Rice should be honest. Even if the variety is the same, the taste can vary greatly depending on the production area and farmer. Even if the production area is good, without proper care, the rice won’t be delicious. Yochi contracts with carefully selected producers who are committed to rice cultivation.
