Koshihikari
Koshihikari (コシヒカリ eller 越光, "lys fra Koshi-provinsen") er en rissort, der især dyrkes i Japan, men også i Australien og USA.
Koshihikari fremkom første gang i 1956 ved kombination af de to forskellige rissorter nourin 1-gou (農林1号) og nourin 22-gou (農林22号) hos Fukui Nouji Kairyou Jikkensho (福井農事改良実験所, Landbrugsforbedringsanstalt Fukui). Sorten blev efterhånden populær, til dels som følge af dets gode udseende. I dag er det en af de mest dyrkede sorter i landet med smag varierende regionerne imellem. Koshihikari fra Uonuma (Niigata) i Niigata-præfekturet hører til de dyreste rissorter i Japan.

Koshihikari was first created in 1956, by combining 2 different strains of Nourin No.1 and Nourin No.22 at the Fukui Prefectural Agricultural Research Facility. The character for koshi (越) is used to represent old Koshi Province, which stretched from present-day Fukui to Yamagata. Koshihikari can be translated as "the light of Koshi ".
