2022 New Harvest: Century Rice of Abundance
The season for new rice has arrived
In most years, the early part of September is marked by unstable weather and typhoons, which sometimes prevent the rice harvest from proceeding as planned. However, this year, we were able to harvest at a good time.
It was cultivated in parts of the Shiozaki, Shobu-waki, Tanabe, and Mukaira areas. Despite planting on one less tan (1,000㎡) of land,
the greater temperature difference compared to last year also contributed, allowing us to harvest 311.5 bales of "Minori no Hyakunen Mai" (Rice of a Hundred Harvests), more than the previous year.
All premium rice in 2022!
At Kimoto Farm, we harvest and dry rice by section every year, calculating the taste value for each region. The taste value measures the content of four components: 'amylose', 'protein', 'moisture', and 'fatty acids', to comprehensively evaluate the deliciousness. It is said that rice scoring 70 points or above out of 100 is considered delicious by 70-80% of people. This year's Century Harvest Rice achieved very high taste values of 86 to 89 points in every region.
We cultivate carefully every year, but this year, thanks to favorable weather conditions, we were able to produce even more delicious rice.
With a large harvest and high taste values, this year can indeed be called a 'jackpot year' for Century Harvest Rice.
About Kimoto Farm Here
Started special cultivation rice
This year, we started cultivating special rice in a part of the fields in the Tanabe district.
Special cultivation rice refers to rice that is grown with less than half the pesticides and chemical fertilizers compared to conventional cultivation methods. Although it requires a lot of effort and time to cultivate, it uses fewer pesticides and chemical fertilizers than conventional cultivation, making the rice safer and more secure to eat.
Please try our delicious rice, which is made with great care and filled with the blessings of nature.
