Supervised by: Toru Okuda
Under the title of "Reiwa Rice Riots," the program will focus on rice, a hot topic that is making headlines in the media every day, including rice prices and distribution. It will also focus on the quality of rice, which is the most important food for the Japanese people, and will shine a light on "rice farmers who produce truly delicious rice" and the chefs who use that rice daily, providing a unique look at Japanese rice from a chef's perspective.
Rather than focusing on political aspects such as the past rice production reduction policies that have been the subject of recent media attention, rice distribution, prices of around 2,000 yen for 5 kg, and the distribution systems of the JA and agricultural cooperatives, the book aims to provide useful content for people who want to know "what truly delicious rice is."
In fact, it's fair to say that Japanese people have never been so conscious of rice in their daily lives. It's precisely because of this opportunity that we feel it's so meaningful to sincerely delve into the topic of truly delicious Japanese rice in this third installment of the "Japanese Gourmet: The Beauty of Food - Learning from the Past and Creating the Future" series. We hope that this book will be a valuable resource that serves as a bridge to the next generation of rice farmers and contributes to the continuation of rice farming, a major issue in Japan.
