Reiwa 7 Harvest, Milled Rice, Nagano Prefecture Grown, Koshihikari A Grade 1 Rice, 5kg

We are offering polished rice, Koshihikari A Grade 1, from Nagano Prefecture, harvested in Reiwa 7.

?Reason for being WAKEARI (with a reason/flaw):
We had no plans to sell this year's harvest, but our partner rice shop went out of business, leaving us with inventory that was awaiting shipment.
Therefore, we have decided to sell it on Mercari on short notice.

?Nagano Prefecture Koshihikari A Grade 1 Rice:
The biggest difference between A and B is the protein content, which affects the deliciousness of the rice.
Rice that is graded Grade 1 in agricultural product inspection and has a brown rice protein content of approximately 6.4% or less is classified as A. Anything above that is classified as B.
The lower the protein content, the higher the taste quality, resulting in rice that is sticky, sweet, and of high quality when cooked.

?Rice Paddy Water Source:
With the Northern Alps towering above, the mountains store abundant snowmelt, which flows into the Kashima River (a Class 1 river) originating from these mountains. Our rice is cultivated using this pure water.
Unlike rice grown using reservoir ponds, the water here is so cold that your hands will go numb after just 10 seconds of immersion during the spring plowing and rice planting seasons.
The taste of rice is determined by the freshness and coldness of the water.

?Pest and Weed Control:
Our region experiences little rain and a refreshing climate with significant temperature differences between day and night, resulting in very few pest and disease outbreaks. Therefore, we do not use fungicides or insecticides after planting.

?Climate and Environment:
Our rice paddies are located on flat land at an altitude of 600m to 650m. With abundant sunlight and large diurnal temperature variations, the rice plants' metabolism is suppressed, allowing them to store ample starch, which is the source of the rice's deliciousness, produced through photosynthesis.
It can be said that in regions where summer night temperatures do not drop below 18°C, rice plants cannot rest and therefore cannot store starch.
Conversely, if it is too cold, the rice will suffer from cold damage and will not grow into healthy plants.

?From a Safety and Security Perspective:
The rice passes through a stone remover, color sorter, polisher, another stone remover, and a sifter.
