Sado-grown Koshihikari
This is Sado rice, nurtured alongside the Crested Ibis, a Special Natural Monument of Japan. In 2007, Sado City established the 'Certification System for Living in Harmony with Crested Ibises' to secure feeding grounds for the birds and restore paddy fields overflowing with life. This certified rice is Koshihikary grown using the city's unique 'Life-Nurturing Farming Method,' which reduces the use of pesticides and chemical fertilizers by more than 50%. A portion of the sales is donated to the Crested Ibis Environmental Improvement Fund. Sado is also the first island in Japan to be recognized as a Globally Important Agricultural Heritage System (GIAHS) in 2011. Each grain, grown in paddy fields where humans and nature coexist, offers an exceptional flavor. This is a rice unique to Sado, where eating it helps support the future of the island.
