Experience Making Japanese Sake / Fukui Prefecture / Rice Planting

The rice which has been planted and harvested by the participants of “Arigato Project 2016”

is now in the process of being made into the Sake of Arigato at Kokuryu brewery.

 

On May 3rd, 2016, the opening ceremony and rice planting of

“Arigato Project” of this year were conducted.

 

On that day, there were storm warning in Fukui City and a gale advisory in Ono City. In the strong wind the participants and staff of the projects planted each baby rice with their hands.

Everyone is looking forward to seeing the completed sake next year.

 

Have you ever experienced planting rice? I stepped into a rice field for the first time. It was very hard just to take one step that it took more than 20 seconds for me to walk one step.

Are there any sake breweries in your cities?
If you have a chance, how about experiencing making sake and/or sake brewery tour?
