Kim Bong-⁠gyu’s Good Rice Lab

Hello! I am the second generation to run this rice mill in Yeoncheon-gun, Gyeonggi-do, following my father.

For the best-tasting rice, Good Rice Lab grows only the newest varieties.

I grow the rice myself, then mill it with care to suit your taste and send it straight to you.

Blessed by nature

We farm in Gunnam-myeon, Yeoncheon-gun, Gyeonggi-do — ideal rice country, with plenty of top-grade water from the Imjin River, red-clay paddies and the big day–night temperature swings near the 38th parallel.

How to cook

Yeonjin changes texture with the way you cook it

  • Pleasantly firm

    Electric pressure rice cooker

    Soak for at least 30 minutes before cooking for a pleasantly firm texture.

  • Chewy

    Earthenware pot or cast-iron pot

    The rice smells richer and the stickiness stands out — ideal if you love pot-cooked rice.

  • Soft, chewy and fluffy
  • Stays soft even when cold — great for gimbap and lunch boxes

This is the latest new variety, developed and released in 2022 by the Gyeonggi-do Agricultural Research & Extension Services to suit changing tastes.

Clean, mild and non-aromatic, it goes with any side dish. With 9.5% amylose it is very soft yet chewy and fluffy.

Children and students especially love this texture, so it is perfect for gimbap and lunch boxes. (Low-amylose rice stays soft even when it cools!)

  • Aromatic rice with a gentle toasted-rice scent
  • Soft, sticky semi-glutinous rice
  • Deep flavor from a clean climate and clean water

This is the latest new variety, developed and released in 2022 by the Gyeonggi-do Agricultural Research & Extension Services to suit changing tastes.

Yeorihyang, with its toasty scent of scorched rice, is a low-amylose rice (9.5%). Its amylose level is close to Goyang City’s celebrated varieties “Giwaji No. 1” (8.2%) and “Baekjinju” (9.1%), giving it a soft yet sticky texture.

Rice with under 15% amylose is called low-amylose (semi-glutinous) rice. Even as brown rice it is soft and easy to eat, and it stays soft after cooling.

Yeorihyang is also a mid-to-late-ripening variety: its grains mature through Yeoncheon’s big day–night temperature swings, which gives it a deep flavor.

Yeoncheon Rice

Yeoncheon Rice Seolhyangchal

  • The purity of Yeoncheon’s “Namtobuksu” —
  • with a toasted-rice aroma!

A premium rice grown in fertile soil from the south and clean water from the Imjin River in the north.

No soaking needed: it cooks up soft with a toasty, scorched-rice aroma. With less amylose than regular rice, it is sticky, chewy and full of flavor.

Seolhyangchal glutinous rice

Yeoncheon Rice Seolhyangchal — glutinous white rice with a toasted-rice aroma, 2026 new crop

Cook it with white rice for a toasty flavor, like simmered scorched rice. It adds more chewy stickiness than ordinary glutinous rice and lifts the flavor of your rice.

Use it for yaksik (sweet rice), rice cakes or porridge and the toasty aroma makes them special. If your everyday rice tastes flat, mix in a little of this glutinous rice — it brings the flavor right back. It keeps its shine and stickiness after cooling, so it is great for cold rice, lunch boxes and rice balls.

Yeoncheon Rice Seolhyangchal — glutinous brown rice with a toasted-rice aroma, 2026 new crop

The toasty aroma rises as soon as it starts cooking, and it lifts your rice with no special effort. It keeps the stickiness of glutinous brown rice and is less dry than ordinary brown rice — easy for brown-rice beginners.

No need to soak — mix it straight into white rice and it still cooks up soft and sticky. You get the goodness of brown rice, and the stickiness of glutinous rice makes it easier on your stomach.

Single variety · same-day milling

Fresh rice

Freshly milled, single-variety rice

To send you the best rice, we mill it ourselves on small but clean, up-to-date equipment.

We mill each variety on separate days so they never mix, so delivery may take 1–2 extra days depending on the schedule. Thank you for your patience — we will repay it with better-tasting rice.

Milling equipment and the color sorter

Little and often, as fresh as possible

How to enjoy it at its best

Buy a little, often — and keep it as fresh as possible

Rice starts to age the moment it is milled, and it loses flavor as time passes.

  • We recommend eating it within a month of the milling date.
  • Keeping it longer than a month? Store it in an airtight container in the fridge!

Suchanmi · Yeorihyang

  • Aromatic rice contains more fat, so it ages faster.
  • Always keep it in the fridge.
  • Suchanmi · Yeorihyang

    Use 10% less water than usual!

    For low-amylose (semi-glutinous) rice, just use 10% less water than usual for plump, perfectly cooked rice!
