Dreamy brewer’s rice only in Nagano

People say this rice “dreamy brewery rice”. Because this rice is allowed to produce in only Kijimadaira village located in the north part of Nagano, the production quantity is extremely small.

Also, it’s challenging to grow due to the tall and heavy rice ears, and farmers are trying to minimize the agrochemical to grow the rice.

Due to the spread of localism, breweries of Nagano are getting back to basics and needs of Kinmonnishiki is increasing. The unique and rich Umami attracts a lot of passionate brewers.
