On July 17th (Fri), the large Ginjo sake "Hakutsuru Ginza Tenku Farm Sake", which was prepared with the sake rice "Hakutsurunishiki" grown on the rooftop of Ginza, was sold again this year and limited to dealers.

Sake made from "Ginza rice" grown here.
It has been commercialized since 2013.
It will be released this year as "Sake of Hakutsuru Ginza Tenku Farm".
Here, about Hakutsuru Sake Brewery's original sake rice "Hakutsuru Nishiki" ...
In order to develop excellent sake rice, the breeding of Hakutsuru Nishiki was started to elucidate the excellent characteristics of Yamada Nishiki, the best varieties of sake rice, and to develop even better sake rice.
In 1995, we started crossing the variety "Wataribune", the father of Yamada Nishiki, and the mother "Yamadabo", and registered the excellent variety as "Hakutsuru Nishiki" in 2007.
What is an excellent sake rice (sakamai)?
The preferred properties include "large grain", "low protein and fat", "large white heart", and "hard to crack".
What is "Shinpaku"?
It refers to the starch in the center of rice suitable for sake brewing, the white and transparent part.
The starch tissue is coarse, so it looks white.
And the features of "Hakuzuru Nishiki" are ...
Compared to Yamada Nishiki, the number of grains and heart whites is similar to that of Yamada Nishiki.
Therefore, the taste when you drink it is deep.
Hakutsuru Ginza Tenku Farm has seven large and small rice fields, a total of about 110m2.
The biggest feature is that the thickness of the soil is 10cm, thin.
A regular rooftop paddy field requires a thickness of 60 cm of soil.
Mr. Shiratsuru, who cannot do that due to the limit of the rooftop load, has been solved by using a specially formulated high-performance soil called "Roof Soil".
As a result, there are four difficulties in rooftop paddy fields.
① Sunshine
② Soil
③ Wind
④ Water management
Overcoming this, he achieved a high yield comparable to the average paddy field yield.
We asked Mr. Shota Takao, leader of Hakutsuru Ginza Tenku Farm, about this year's "Sake of Hakutsuru Ginza Tenku Farm".
The Tenku Farm, which began with 100 planters in 2007, has become a paddy field since 2008, and the yield has gradually increased.
It seems that Mr. Takao also went to make this year's "Sake of Tenku Farm".
Certainly, this year's fragrance is very good and fruity, the aftertaste is sharp, and it seems that it will come in quickly.
This year, from the viewpoint of preventing the spread of COVID-19 infection, we couldn't hold the "Sake of Tenku Farm" event, but we hope to interact with various people again.
By the way, the details of the products that will be released this time are ...
