While working on special cultivation, we are producing high-quality rice throughout the region.Ī part of the sales of this product is used for part of the Nagaoka region’s recycling-oriented agriculture initiative, supporting sustainable agricultural production. Since 2005, producers in the Nagaoka region have been working together with the goal of practicing environmentally friendly, safe, and secure production. The “Eco 5-5 Movement” is a special cultivation method that reduces the number of times chemically synthesized pesticides are used and chemical fertilizers (nitrogen components) by more than 50% compared to conventional cultivation.

The Nagaoka Koshihikari rice used in this product is specially cultivated rice cultivated through the Eco-5-5 Movement. Please buy it as a souvenir for your business trip to Niigata or as a gift for your children. We hope that you will enjoy this product, which is a paradoxical collaboration of two things with different While rice is produced over a long period of time, one crop a year, the Shinkansen runs in a short period of time, called a super-express train. This product was planned by a project team formed by people involved who resonated with the thoughts of active rice farmers in Nagaoka City. I think it would be interesting to try to tow from agriculture in this changing era of super express. This is not the end, this is the beginning. Not only agriculture, but all industries in Nagaoka are connected beyond the fence, there is a town that we want to leave behind. In order to make such a mediocre town even better, we have to involve many people, have fun, and make the most of our charm.Įnjoy farming more, not whether you need it or not. There is also a Shinkansen that connects the Tokyo metropolitan area and Nagaoka. A town surrounded by rice fields, fields and mountains and facing the sea. It’s nothing special, but it’s not difficult to live in either.

As I sat in the rice field wondering, “Is agriculture really necessary for Japan?”, the bullet train ran overhead in an instant. Departure with Shinkansen rice with thoughts for the future of the region! Rice surplus, depopulation of farming villages, and the number of farmers who decrease due to aging.
