Pfft. Try Koshihikari from the place that actually developed the strain - Fukui. :P
Niigata has basically become a "brand name", with anyone in the area trying to cash in.
Fukui Koshihikari is from the original strains, and is *excellent*. I would choose it over Niigata any day. (And have, as we`ve tried the supposedly great Niigata grown and found it either the same or not as good as the rice we regularly eat. Costing more on top of that.)
