[Specialties – Dalin] Rice

Dalin Township, located in the fertile Chianan Plain, is one of Taiwan’s key rice-producing regions, with an annual output of approximately 12,000 metric tons and vast rice cultivation areas. The locally produced Taiken No. 16 rice is renowned for its plump grains, chewy texture, and rich aroma, making it a favorite among consumers and a representative of high-quality rice varieties in the market.

Among them, “Shilu Rice” is carefully crafted from the premium Taiken No. 16 variety. The unique geographical environment, combined with irrigation from the pure waters of the Zhuoshui River and Dalin’s stable climate, ensures outstanding flavor and quality. To preserve its fresh taste, Shilu Rice is stored using low-temperature vacuum refrigeration technology, guaranteeing the rice remains bright, full-grained, naturally fragrant, and safe to eat.

This is not just the story of a good rice—it is a commitment to the land and a reflection of the Cittaslow spirit: respecting nature, cherishing resources, and insisting on quality.
