The rice brand ”Uonuma Koshihikari" is incomparably distinct in its taste and texture from the ordinary rice you buy from Wall-Mart.
"Nishiki-goi" are carps referenced as "Swimming Gems".
"Nihon-syu", or Sake are matured in deep snow.
"Hanabi-Taikai (Firework Festivals)" launch 48-inch gunpowder-balls to the sky.
"Matsunoyama-Onsen" is counted as one of three most famous medicinal hot-springs in Japan.
We are from the Niigata Prefecture in Japan which embraces these fascinations.
We can ship you many products that can only be found in Japan packaged with care.
The fact that you have ordered these products all the way from Japan will certainly be something to be proud of!

Each line is translated well, but the objective of the translation is to sell Niigata and appeal it to foreigners. The original Japanese format is written almost poetically, but that doesn't really work all that well in English, so you must be flexible enough to change the formatting itself.

Also, for translating 丁寧 to "careful", it's not incorrect, but "careful" has a meaning associated with avoiding danger. "with care" or "delicately" may be a more appropriate translation in this case for packaging an item.
Make sure countries start with capital letters :)
