Where to Get Hylian Rice

Though the item mentions Kakariko Village, that's not at all where you need to go to get Hylian Rice. Instead, you'll want to be just about anywhere with a lot of grass in East Necluda. If you're still early on in exploring recommend teleporting to Hateno Village using Zanmik Shrine. Then, exit and head south of the Midla Woods (area shown below) to find long stretches of grass.

Here, it's time to get chopping! Put on a podcast or a movie or a show and swing your bladed weapon along the grass to chop it down until you've found the amount of Hylian Rice you need. Hylian Rice won't pop up with every hit (and a few Restless Crickets will sneak in), but this is a great, and most importantly, free way of getting Hylian Rice. You can move throughout this area to chop grass, and so long as you're in East Necluda, you'll have a chance of finding Hylian Rice.

We've also had success finding Hylian Rice just north of Hateno around its grazing fields and up by the Hateno Ancient Tech Lab.

You can also teleport to Bamitok Shrine on Mount Dunsel (still in East Necluda!) if you've explored more and cut grass there, or use the Rabella Wetlands Skyview Tower if you've unlocked that. The latter can be a little dangerous if you're early on, though, so watch out!

Hylian Rice is sold for 12 Rupees each at the following shops:
