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?
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 part that looks white and opaque.
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 of sake is deep.
Hakutsuru Ginza Tenku Farm is a paddy field of about 110m2, seven large and small, large.
The biggest feature is that the thickness of the soil is 10cm, thin.
It is said that a normal rooftop paddy field requires a thickness of 60 cm.
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.
The Tenku Farm, which began with 100 planters in 2007, has become a paddy field since 2008, and the yield has gradually increased.
By the way, the details of the products that will be released this time are ...
