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.)
Hey, well if you can't afford the best, I understand...

Just kidding, I'll see if I can find some of the Fukui stuff and make up my own mind.
