    POPPED GENMAI is a twice-baked genmai ("brown rice") from Wazuka, Kyoto prefecture, Japan. Made with Japonica rice of the hishikari cultivar, the raw kernels were toasted in two rounds to caramelize. Notes of fresh popcorn and sweet cereal with warm, toasty body.

    Format

    POPPED GENMAI is a twice-baked genmai ("brown rice") from Wazuka, Kyoto prefecture, Japan. Locally grown rice is roasted at 200ºC until thoroughly cooked, then toasted again to "pop" about 75% of the kernels. Just like popcorn!

    Produced with Japonica varietal rice of the koshihikari cultivar, this genmai is a short grain rice of superb eating quality. Toasted, the carbohydrates undergo chemical changes that create caramel and sweet breakfast cereal qualities with a saccharine roasted aroma perfect for cold weather.
