Kitahiroshima Hanada-ue Rice
Kitahiroshima Town is renowned for the 'Mibu no Hanataue' (Mibu Rice Planting Festival), a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage. This rice is nurtured by its rich tradition of rice cultivation. The Mibu no Hanataue is a traditional event held on the first Sunday of June every year to pray for a bountiful harvest, and it was inscribed as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2011. The land continues to pass down prayers for successful farming—where brightly decorated oxen plow the fields and young women plant seedlings to the rhythm of rice-planting songs. Blessed with the clear streams of the Chugoku Mountains and significant temperature fluctuations, Kitahiroshima is known as one of Western Japan's leading rice-producing regions, cultivating approximately 20 different varieties. With a well-balanced blend of stickiness and sweetness, this rice offers an exceptional taste nurtured by long-standing traditions.
