*This is rice produced in Reiwa 6. It is not a newcomer in Reiwa 7. The mountainous area of Kochi and Shimanto is known as one of the best rice spots in Shimanto. This "Shimanto rice" is a safe and secure rice that has been carefully grown with the clean water of the Shimanto River system and the blessings of the abundant sun. The rice fields use clear water from many rivers and mountains of the tributaries of the clear Shimanto River system. Low-pesticide cultivated rice "Shimanto rice" is made with great care by old-fashioned satoyama farmers. From planting rice to harvesting, preservation, rice polishing, and serving on the table... We never cut corners in every process and carefully nurture them. Nothing has changed since ancient times. I just do the obvious things. That kind of thing may be a real luxury in today's world. It is said that rice making takes 88 hours to write "eighty-eight" and become the character "rice". The farmers of Shimanto say in unison: "Considering the effort and effort involved in rice cultivation, it is much cheaper to buy it than to make it." That's exactly right, and this is an honest voice. However, I think that it is precisely because of these times and because of farmers that they are particular about quality, safe and safe food rather than productivity. It claims to be "delicious rice", but for the people who live here, this is a common taste since childhood. < Matters to note >・・After receiving the product, please 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⇒ and deterioration in taste).

Insect outbreaks occur when eggs have already been laid in the rice and the temperature rises above 20°C, so even if the rice is unopened, insects may occur. ・When storing rice in a rice container, use up the old rice, clean it, and then add new rice. ・White rice may be mixed with brown or black (spotted) rice. This is rice that has been lost during color sorting and removal by machine, and has no adverse health effects. Rather, it is proof that safe rice is grown with a significant reduction in pesticides, so please eat it with confidence.
