Chihaya Akasaka Village Terraced Rice
The 'Shimoakasaka Terraced Rice Fields,' stretching across Chihaya Akasaka—the only village in Osaka Prefecture—are a beautiful landscape selected as one of Japan's Top 100 Terraced Rice Fields. These terraces, said to have existed since the Muromachi period, were built step-by-step like stairs along the slopes of a village with little flat land. Pure water and the large temperature fluctuations within the mountains nurture plump, well-formed grains of rice. In early summer when the fields are flooded, and in autumn when the rice ears ripen, the sunset reflects beautifully on the water's surface, attracting many photography enthusiasts. When cooked, each grain shines with a glossy luster, and a natural sweetness spreads with every bite. Enjoying a bowl of rice while imagining that beautiful terraced landscape is an exceptional luxury.
