Mitsuhikari 2003 and Mitsuhikari 2005 are F1 hybrid rice cultivars developed by Mitsui Chemicals. Mitsuhikari has superior high yield and taste, and is suitable for diverse rice demands including food service industry use. Mitsuhikari’s delayed harvesting not only helps prevent quality degradation but has the added advantage of dispersing the concentration of harvesting resources. Mitsuihikari is not a GMO (genetically modified organism) rice variety.
