An artisanal, rinse‑free Japanese white rice milled by Toyo Rice Company, hand‑chosen and taste‑aged, packaged in small sachets. Round USD 109/kg traditionally; current retail works out to roughly ₹12,500–₹15,000 per kg relying on pack measurement.
Why so costly: Hand choice, proprietary buffing that retains vitamins, getting old, and tiny manufacturing runs; Guinness licensed it the world's most costly rice.
