The calendar month of May is when simply about breweries establish their rice stalks, thus I decided since it was Golden Week to caput upwards to Iwate Prefecture to accept purpose inwards my bi-annual rice planting work.  I bask the manual project of planting private seedlings inwards neat rows 2 at a time.  It's dorsum breaking work, but it's fun every bit hell.  Watch the video of the Akita Shinkansen passing past times our rice field.  It's thus close!
In the moving-picture exhibit to a higher house is the Akita Shinkansen passing our rice terrace.  So unopen yous could affect it.  People were poking their heads through the window when they saw me, simply about inwards awe.  No see to Nippon would live on consummate without taking purpose inwards a rice planting event.   This 1 was epic.
The rice that was planted is called Miyama Nishiki, a truthful sakamai ( sake rice) which has been used to brand a position out of slap-up world-class sake.   Think Nanbu Bijin! ( southern beauty).   This is a real hardy as well as robust rice grain that has been refined over the years.    First, everybody stands shoulder to shoulder thus start.  Each somebody needs to establish rice seedlings across the whole field.  If yous stimulate got weak knees or a bad dorsum this run is non for you.  You accept three seedlings at a fourth dimension as well as establish this gently nether the soft soil which is composed of chicken manure as well as fresh mount water.  It's non smelly at all.  The chickens are fed premium Japanese rice their whole lives.  The whole procedure from starting fourth dimension to complete takes a footling over an lx minutes to consummate if yous stimulate got plenty people present.  I loved it!
Iwate Prefecture is known for its delicious mount saltation water, wonderful cabbage as well as blueberries, its amazing sake, incredible natural hot spas, specially the ones high upwards inwards the mountains of Iwate.  You must see this onsen 網張温泉〜 温泉館 薬師の湯〜!  Amiharionsen a 1300-year-old hot saltation inwards the mountains which commands amazing views of QKamura National Park.  In wintertime yous tin witness as well as unforgettable snowfall scene.   In nigh moving-picture exhibit postcards you'll encounter Iwate featuring its beautiful mount ranges amongst gorgeous snowfall peaked caps all twelvemonth round.
The rice this champaign volition yield volition live on used to brand world-class sake as well as volition live on sold all over the world, thus if yous are inwards Nippon during spring, produce movement it.  No sense inwards Nippon volition live on consummate until yous movement growing the unmarried nigh consumed nutrient particular inwards the world, as well as inwards Nippon yous tin produce it.   Afterwards yous tin vantage yourself inwards an amazing hot spring.
