Dreamy Brewer’s Rice Only in Nagano
People say this rice, “Dreamy Brewery Rice”, because this rice is only produced in Kijimadaira village located in the north part of Nagano. The production quantity is extremely small due to the tall and heavy rice ears, and farmers try to minimize the use of agrochemicals to grow the rice.
The breweries in Nagano are getting back to basics and meeting the needs of Kinmonnishiki due to the spread of localism. The unique and rich Umami attracts many passionate brewers.
