Engineered for good health

Imported from Japan, Kinmemai is a gourmet specialty rice unlike any other. Manufactured through the patented Kinmemai process, which enhances both the taste and nutrition of tender rice grains, it will please both the gourmands and the nutrition-minded alike.

Taste-tested by the most demanding taste buds

Kinmemai Better White™ has a slightly buttery, mildly nutty taste and a moist, creamy texture that is superior to that of conventional white rice.

Not a fan of the tough, chewy texture of brown rice? Thanks to a patented dewaxing process, Kinmemai Better Brown™ absorbs more water during cooking, resulting in a lighter, fluer texture unseen in conventional brown rice.

A balanced diet to support an urban active lifestyle

Packed with vitamins, as nutritious as conventional brown rice easy to digest Kinmemai Better Brown™ Rice appears lighter than conventional brown rice — that’s because the rice grains’ tough outer wax layer has been gently removed, making it easier on your digestive system, avoiding gas, bloating and cramping, which is typical of brown rice.

Excellent nutritional profile

A gentle, precise buffing process also means that Kinmemai Better Brown™ retains some of the rice grains’ most healthful components which are usually lost to traditional polishing. By retaining more of the rice grain, including the bran, it’s significantly more nutritious than conventional white rice.

Our secret —
Adding by reducing

KINMEMAI PATENTED RICE POLISHING TECHNOLOGY

Using innovative buffing machinery from Toyo Rice Corp, the Kinmemai polishing process removes just the indigestible wax layer of the rice grain.

Kinmemai Better Brown™

JAPANESE-CRAFTED TASTE AND NUTRITION

Kinmemai Better Brown™ Rice brings more to the table than just the chestnut hue and nutritional values of brown rice. It’s also irresistibly fluffy, easier to digest and quicker cooking than conventional brown rice.

JAPANESE-CRAFTED TASTE AND NUTRITION

Kinmemai Better White™ Rice has the appearance, digestibility and quick-cooking time of white rice, but the similarities end there. Expect a buttery, nutty taste and moist, creamy texture; with a nutritional profile superior to conventional white rice.

Alternatively, you can freeze the mixture in an ice-cream machine, following the manufacturer’s instructions.
