The mountainous area of Kochi and Shimanto is known as one of the leading rice regions in Shimanto. This "Shimanto Rice" is a safe and secure rice that has been carefully cultivated with the blessings of the clean water of the Shimanto River system and sufficient sun. For the rice fields, we use fresh water from many rivers and mountains that are tributaries of the Shimanto River system. Old-fashioned satoyama farmers carefully cultivate low-pesticide rice "Shimanto no Rice". From rice planting to harvesting, preservation, polishing, and serving on the table... We never cut corners in any of the processes, and we carefully nurture them. I haven't done anything unusual in the past. Just do the obvious things. That may be the real luxury in today's world. It is said that rice cultivation takes 88 labors so that the word "eighty-eight" is written and the word "rice" is formed. Forty thousand farmers say in unison: "Considering the labor and effort involved in growing rice, it is much cheaper to buy it than to make it." That's exactly right, and this is the honest voice. However, in times like these, I think it is precisely because we are farmers that we are more concerned about quality and safe and secure food than productivity. Although it claims to be "delicious rice", for the people who live here, it is a natural taste since childhood. <Please note > ・After receiving the product, be sure to unpack it on the same day and check the condition of the product. ・Rice does not have an expiration date, but it gradually deteriorates (oxidation⇒ stale rice⇒ taste deteriorates).
